After a 22 days of abandoning their jobs, the fleebagging Democratic Senators have returned to Wisconsin. They were unsuccessful in their attempt to prevent passage of Wisconsin’s Budget Repair Bill which limited public employee union collective bargaining.

Madison (WQOW) - Madison police estimate there were at least 85,000 people around the Capitol Square Saturday. In that crowd: 13 of the 14 formerly missing senate Democrats who, having returned from Illinois, made their first public appearance in Madison in weeks.

Fleebagger Wisconsin Dems to Return and Vote?

What have democrats gained by this debacle?

The Wall Street Journal reported:

The leader of the 14 Wisconsin Senate Democrats who left the state last month to block legislation that would curb public-employee union rights said the senators plan to return “in the relatively near future,” because negotiations with the governor have failed.

The Wisconsin standoff, which drew thousands of demonstrators to occupy the capitol in Madison for days at a time, has come to highlight efforts in other states to address budget problems in part by limiting the powers and benefits accorded public-sector unions.

Sen. Mark Miller said he and his fellow Democrats intend to let the full Senate vote on Gov. Scott Walker’s “budget-repair” bill, which would also limit public unions’ collective bargaining rights.
