Senators who escaped for disruption of voting are wanted in American visconsin

In the American state of Wisconsin, democrats, who left the building of the local congress to disrupt voting under a bill limiting the rights of trade unions, were put on the wanted list.

The police on Thursday, February 24, visited the houses of politicians, but they were not there, ITAR-TASS reports.

As one of the democrats of Wisconsin John Erpenbach stated, all 14 of his single -party people in the Senate are outside the state and do not intend to return, "until Governor Scott Walker will demonstrate their willingness to compromise."

“The reason is the stubbornness of the Governor of Walker,” he added. Erpenbach himself is located in the Chicago area (Illinois).

Democratic senators left the state territory more than a week ago, having arranged a demarch against the intentions of the Republicans, led by the governor, to start an advance to the rights of trade unions as part of a reduction in government departments.

Scott Walker intends to conduct a bill through the local legislative assembly, which will deprive the professional union of the opportunity to achieve wages for its members, as well as conclude a collective agreement when hiring.

In addition, the bill provides for a reduction in substercle of medical insurance and pension funds of civil servants.

The absence of democrats in their places for more than eight days allowed the Senate bailiff to attract the police in their search.

Legislators cannot be arrested, but the leader of the majority of the Republicans Scott Fitzgerald hopes that in this way they will be able to force them to return to the ward and vote.

Meanwhile, tens of thousands of people continue mass performances in the capital of the state - Madison. Hundreds of disagreements with the plan of the governor are on the clock in the Capitol - the building of the local legislative assembly, observing how the Republicans who have a majority vote gradually delete all the amendments to the new law, which were proposed by the Democrats.

However, in order to adopt the bill, the Republicans need two -thirds of the votes in the local Senate, and only 60 out of 100 seats are at their disposal.

They need to enlist the support of the seven democrats, but Governor Walker stubbornly states that he does not intend to compromise, motivating this with the "interests of the people."

He prefers to use intimidation tactics - a few days ago the politician said that if the bill is not adopted in the coming days, then next week he will order the dismissal of 1.5 thousand people. During the year, Walker said, this number will increase to 6 thousand.

All this, according to him, is “necessary measures” to reduce the state budget deficit, which in 2011-2012 will amount to $ 3.6 billion.
