But the state is so heavily gerrymandered that the Republicans had a lock on the Legislature, despite only about 50% of the votes, and Walker’s real constituency was the Kochs, the Heritage Foundation, and conservative activists generally. They passed the law, and it’s only been literally a few weeks since the last of it was finally struck down by a court as unconstitutional.
That’s awesome. Did the governor end up backing down?

That’s a shame, but at least the courts sided with the unions in the end. Sounds like a big story I’m surprised its the first I’m hearing of it
