Breaking News from Indiana: Right to Work Withdrawn
Source: AFL-CIO

The Indianapolis Star reports that Republican lawmakers have withdrawn a so-called “right to work” bill that drew thousands of Indiana workers to the Capitol in protest this week and spurred Democratic lawmakers to boycott state senate proceedings to prevent a vote on the anti -worker bill.

But it is unclear of the senators will return because the Star reports:

Last night they issued a statement saying they had concerns about 11 bills, including other labor-related bills, education reforms and the proposed next state budget. They singled out two in particular: the right-to-work bill and one which lets state tax dollars pay for private school tuition for some families.

We will bring you further details as they become available

17. He seems unhintable. Madison is the new Spain 1936
in the sense of irreconcilable ideologies.

13. Hearing Walker tell that pranker that he wanted to get Dems back to "talk"
Edited on Wed Feb-23-11 02:10 PM by nolabear
and then use that as a faux quorum or to arrest them, makes me very leery of any "concessions" right now.
