Rep. Evan Wynn, who represents the 43rd Assembly District, said that, despite the media attention given to pro-union protesters, supporters of the bill outnumber opponents.
“The protesters have been loud, but I believe they’re a vocal minority,” Wynn said. “I see where Tim Cullen said the state is split 50/50, but I feel it’s 60/40 in favor of the bill. Mr. Cullen and the other Senate Democrats were in hiding, while the rest of us have been here working and communicating with our constituents.
“This thing is bigger than the budget or collective bargaining,” he added. “It’s about what system of government we want, and not the minority dictating things to the majority. It’s about making this state great.”
Longtime state Rep. Steve Nass, R-Whitewater, said no amount of intimidation from protesters would keep him from voting for the bill.
