- Indiana Dems: This Is Our Moment And We’re Seizing It | TPMDC
- "At first we thought the Governor was being the good cop and [House] Speaker [Brian Bosma] was being the bad cop," state Rep. Scott Pelath (D) told TPM in a phone interview from his Illinois hotel room. "Now it looks like the governor is taking both of those roles in his own person."
Pelath said his caucus is not yet planning to leave Urbana, pointing to what he said was the "radical agenda" being pushed by the Republicans and Daniels. Pelath rejected the notion that "right-to-work" was dead because state Republicans have chosen to abandon the bill that was focused on it. He said there are union-busting plans in other bills and dropping one bill didn't put an end to the fight.
But Democrats are also upset over Daniels statewide school voucher plan, which would let public school students use state money to attend private schools if they chose. Pelath said that bill was just as objectionable for Democrats as right-to-work is.
- Rally to Save the American Dream | MoveOn.org Political Action
- Instead of creating jobs, Republicans are giving tax breaks to corporations and the very rich–and then cutting funding for education, police, emergency response, and vital human services.
On Saturday, February 26, at noon local time, we are organizing rallies in front of every statehouse and in every major city to stand in solidarity with the people of Wisconsin. We demand an end to the attacks on worker's rights and public services across the country. We demand investment, to create decent jobs for the millions of people who desperately want to work. And we demand that the rich and powerful pay their fair share.
We are all Wisconsin.
