So Wisconsin's state senators (a level below the USA senate for Europeans that aren't taught this since it's pointless to know) recently fled to Illinois a couple weeks ago due to the governor wanted to eliminate collective bargaining, which most of the state is on. I believe the democrats in Wisconsin ran for the border because the republican governor sent the state police after them, and the state police have no juristiction in Illinois.

Newest Wisconsin thingy:

Apparently very recently Indiana democrats have fled to Illinois as well:

Thoughts?

Shitheads flee to Illinois... It's easier for them here. Life is better for the corrupt and the lazy in Illinois than it is for you and me. It's like the 'new world of opportunity' for those who don't want to work, those who like to exploit other people, and those who like to exploit the system.

Good times.

See I was thinking they fled to Illinois since it's geographically the closest place but that's cool.

Besides the last governor we had before Blagojevich indirectly killed people. At least Blago never did that.

Remember, when you're mad, it's always the democrats fault!

The solution to this is quite simple. Hold a special election to replace anyone who fled, and those who ran like cowards should be jailed if they're caught.

Would you take a 78% pay cut if you were a teacher? You should probably shut the love up until you know what you're saying.
