The majority of the State, a large one, voted Scott Walker into office to do just what he is doing. The State of WI is largely rural, farms and small towns that resent the fact the vast majority of tax dollars are not so much going to unions but to support services provided to Milwaukee and to a lesser extent Madison.

Milwaukee has been famous in recent years for building empty schools as the population has dropped while producing some of the lowest HS test scores in the nation. The teachers' union was simply a logical first target.

Surprised after all the lectures handed out by dems regarding vitriolic rhetoric they would come up with KILL the bill as their chant.
