Cleveland. Feel mah pain.
I got a link to an article on facebook alleging labor unrest and a protest march of some 30,000 people occurred yesterday in Madison, Wisconsin.

Wisconsin’s new Republican governor inadvertently issued a wake-up call to the state’s labor movement by announcing legislation February 11 that would crush public employee unions.

Scott Walker made the proposals just two days after similar measures were unveiled in Ohio.

Wisconsin’s labor movement and allies mobilized three days of emergency rallies in Madison, the state capital, ahead of an expected vote in the legislature February 17. Thirty thousand drumming, chanting protesters descended on the Capitol February 16. Some made plans to camp out there that night.

Anyone know anything more about this? BTW, if anything similar is happening here in Ohio, the newspapers are so far not covering it.
