“This has been spontaneous combustion, what’s happening here in Wisconsin,” Jim Hightower says. “Ordinary folks have been knocked down: workers, farmers, consumers, environmentalists.”
Hightower and former Wisconsin Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager spoke with Laura Flanders this weekend during protests that saw more than 120,000 people descend on Madison to demonstrate against Governor Scott Walker’s bill that took collective bargaining rights away from public unions.
Lautenschlager says that the process Governor Scott Walker and other Republicans circumvented Wisconsin state law and will face pending legal challenges, both to the process and the bill itself. Distributed by Tubemogul.
