Well, it looks like the WI. State Senate, under the GOP, have caved on an important issue- whether to make the Dem's get their paychecks in person or just mail the Dem's their paychecks they don't deserve.
From the Wisconsin Rapids Tribune: Paychecks have been mailed to the 14 Senate Democrats who fled Wisconsin rather than vote on a bill taking away collective bargaining rights from public workers.
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said Tuesday he decided to mail the checks to the AWOL Democrats on Friday even though the Senate had voted to keep them as a way to pressure Democrats to return.
Fitzgerald said he mailed the checks Friday because it was unclear whether the law allowed for the checks to be kept more than a couple days and because negotiations were going well.

If the checks expire, then cut them a new check. So what if negotiations are going good, you need to pressure the Dem's to come back and by backing down on the pay issue, you are saying to the Dem's you are weak.
You have to give credit to the Democrats; they know how to fight and they know how to fight dirty. Unfortunately, the GOP has not learned to fight like a vicious pit bulls and it sounds like they are going to let the Democrats run over them.
Maybe, someday, the GOP will learn how to fight like the Democrats. But right now, they fight like my pet dog Brodie. With Brodie, when he plays with other dogs, he just surrenders and lies on his back and let the other dogs dominate and bite him.
