"Republicans in the Wisconsin Senate voted Wednesday night to strip nearly all collective bargaining rights from public workers..."

"... Republicans on Wednesday split from the legislation the proposal to curtail union rights, which spends no money, and a special conference committee of state lawmakers approved the bill a short time later."

This is the proposal we were discussing in the previous post. I'm surprised this happened so suddenly.

I hear the protests have gone wild on the scene there tonight. We will have first-hand original reporting from New Media Meade before the evening is over.

IN THE COMMENTS: Revenant quoted the linked article — "Republicans in the Wisconsin Senate voted Wednesday night to strip nearly all collective bargaining rights from public workers after discovering a way to bypass the chamber's missing Democrats" and said:

Interesting word choices:

1. "Nearly all"
2. "Discovering"
3. "Bypass"
4. "Missing".

Yeah. I'd noticed that. Textbook journalistic bias. Thanks, AP.
