Wisconsin Legislators flee state to deny quorum
It 2011 in Wisconsin, USA, a campaign developed to prevent the "Wisconsin Budget Repair" Legislation, or Senate Bill 11, proposed by Republican Governor Scott Walker, from being signed into law. This bill would deny the right of non-public safety employees to collectively bargain on all issues except base wages. The democratic legislators left the state so that the quorum for the legistlature to convene was denied. And staying out of state prevented the state police from arresting them. The legistlation was significantly delayed, although it ultimately was approved.
