#1 WISCONSIN (WAOW) -- The 14 Wisconsin senators who left the state to prevent a vote on the Governor's bill remain in hiding Tuesday. Some say they've received threats, [at least 8] others are the focus of recall efforts...We also asked Sen. Holperin who is footing the bill for the democrats extended stay out of state. He said each Senator is paying his or her own food, lodging, and mileage. He insists none of it is coming from the taxpayers.
I wish the reporter had asked the senator if he is continuing to accept the pay & benefits of the office he is refusing to fill.

#2 Of course, if it's coming from their paycheck as a state senator, it's coming from the taxpayers. If it's private money, why do they need a paycheck from the state at all? I'll bet a TON of the cash is coming from unions. If it is, I'd have the governor cut an executive order terminating ALL government "unions" IMMEDIATELY.
