The leader of Senate Democrats hiding out in Illinois is seeking a face-to-face meeting with Gov. Scott Walker and the Senate GOP leader.Yeah, Althouse shows that the progressive scumbag protests are winding down.
Senate Minority Leader Mark Miller (D-Monona) said in a letter sent out Monday that he wants to meet with Republicans "near the Wisconsin-Illinois border to formally resume serious discussions" on Walker's budget repair bill. Two other Democratic senators met with Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) last week in Kenosha.
Democrats have been holed up south of the state line since last month to block action on Walker's budget repair bill, which would end most collective bargaining for public employee unions in the state.
"I assure you that Democratic state senators, despite our differences and the vigorous debate we have had, remain ready and willing to find a reasonable compromise," Miller said in the letter.
Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie could not be reached immediately for comment.
On Monday morning, a small but dedicated group began to chant in protest of Gov. Walker’s budget-repair bill in the Capitol rotunda.
Outside the Capitol, there is little or no sign of the mass protests that have engulfed the Capitol square in recent weeks.
