Today, over 300 people registered to speak to the Wisconsin Joint Finance Committee, while protesters began to gather for a series of protests about Governor Patsy's move to take away most collective bargaining rights from unionized state government workers.
The official response? Let's listen to them less -- as the Joint Finance Committee reduced the amount of time each registrant was allowed to talk from 3 minutes down to 2 minutes.
It seems that Governor Patsy's decision to try to divide and conquer unions by letting police and fire unions continue to exist didn't work -- as reports were that firefighters were going to join the protests.
Not that it'll matter; if Governor Patsy cared what unions thought, or if the public cared about this at all, he wouldn't have gotten away with paying off a Democrat to vote against the contracts Doyle negotiated last year.
At this point, if you're a government worker in Wisconsin, your best bet for continued state-level employment is to go back in time, become wealthy, and contribute to Walker's campaign.
