Gov. Walker's actions are harmful, but the divisiveness and conflict have become habit in the state legislature. Until the elected officials learn to cooperate with each other, there is no hope for compromise, much less progress.

yes jamie your point is well made.governor walker along with his republican henchmen are trying to turn wisconsin into something reminiscent of the third reich.walker's insidious actions are now being used as a template,by other republican governors as a method to suppress workers,and others,who do not share their political views.

the up coming recall election will say much about,not only wisconsin,how much more people are willing to tolerate under the guise of "reform".
