The group is currently the wind farm project planned Grant County.


Governor Walker this week, the wind capital group with other companies dealing in said letter sent to the wind, you can change the rule setback represents the death sentence, many wind projects in Wisconsin.


"Governor Walker ran around creating jobs and reducing government regulation, and I was surprised to see this provision in the context of the regulatory reform bill, in that it is intended to reduce jobs and new investment in the surrounding States instead of Wisconsin," said Baumgardner.


Governor Walker did not return calls for comment on the story of the FOX 11.


Walker's spokesman said that the proposal is in line with the Cullen Werwie aimed at addressing the concerns of wind energy, which affect individuals e-mailed statement. He added that the proposed legislation, if provided, the current owners of the rights to a minimum.

Development finance cooperation Committee passes budget bill

MADISON (AP)-thousands of teachers, students, and the prison guards descended, Wisconsin Capitol on Wednesday to block the move in strips union rights granted to these workers and the Government of the United States, more than half a hundred years ago, but it's what they're looking for without having to change the selected legislative trick.


State House is filled with up to 10 000 demonstrators who chanted, sang the national anthem of protests and beat the drums, unlike the revitalisation of the Madison hour decades. The noise level of the rotunda and many rose Chainsaw teachers joined the the protest by calling the sick, the numbers of such State, the district was part of Madison's second-largest-had to cancel classes.


A new Republican Governor Scott Walker, retrieves the the passage of the nation's most aggressive mode of anti-union proposal, which was moving quickly through the GOP has led to the legislature. The body of the Budget Committee passed Bill just before midnight, the partisan vote, the Senate and the Assembly flush to cast from Thursday.


Many opponents of the crowd broke into tears just prior to the approval of the Committee.


"I am sad. Scared. Disappointed, "Kelly Dzurick, Elkhorn, said as he walked away from the rotunda of the Committee when it was clear to pass the Bill 31-year-old fifth-grade teacher. "Nobody is listening to the people say."


Democrats were unable to stop it.


"Around the world, the story is in a hurry to democracy," said Sen. Bob Jauch, D-Poplar. "Wisconsin is at the end of the story of the democratic process."


If the legislature, the move, which passed the flag to Wisconsin a comprehensive collective bargaining law in 1959 and had all of the Federal Republic of Germany, on the basis of the National Union of public employees, representing the birthplace to a dramatic shift.


"Ruin through and I think that people are going to the Welcome to the State," said Sen. Alberta Darling, budget one.


Such as Klimaflüchtlinge chanted "Cancellation Walker now!" on the outside of the Office, the Governor requested that he or she has the votes for the Walker to pass the measure, which he says that it is necessary to stabilize the projected shortfall in the budget of 3.6 billion dollars and to avoid widespread layoffs.


Walker said he appreciated the concerns of protestors, but taxpayers "need to be heard as well." He said that he would do what "substantially undermine the principles of the" Bill of materials (BOM).


"We're at the stage of the crisis," the Governor said.


WTMJ Milwaukee broadcaster, an interview with President Barack Obama said he was monitoring the situation and gave the Madison budget cuts need. But he said, pushing officials out of wage bargaining table, "it seems like more of the unions attack."


Such as the decline seemed ready to advance, tensions rose Capitol. Police siirryttävästä halls, in some rooms, and had to watch outside of the Governor, the Office has restricted permission. At the beginning of the evening, the Budget Committee prepared swelled to start taking votes, with the crowd boos and screams fill the rotunda than Republican supporters spoke of the invoices.


Republican-backed changes to the grievance procedures to extend the Bill for public employees who do not have one, and require more control and set the time limit within which the EU is responsible for the administration of the changes to the Walker can make Medicaid program and the sale of public power.


In addition, the collective bargaining rights, by eliminating the legislation would also pay half of the public employees ' pensions cost less than they, and their health care coverage, 12,6%-Walker calls a "modest" compared to the last increase in the private sector.


At the Capitol on Tuesday collected more than three Klimaflüchtlinge 17 hours in a public hearing in the case of the measure in question. Thousands more came on Wednesday.


"I'm on my home and my career," said Virginia Welle, 30-year-old teacher at Chippewa falls High School. He said, she and her husband, who also is a teacher, each stand to lose $ 5 000 per year for pension and healthcare systems to higher contributions.


Welle, said he was never able to get that money back, because the trade unions to bargain collectively on the benefits of the Walker's plan.


The protests are greater and more permanent than any of the Madison decades. Dozens of Klimaflüchtlinge spent the night sleeping on the ground floor Rotunda. Noise monitor in the Rotunda registered 105 DB 12 noon Wednesday about ways the hard power mower or Chainsaw.


State House, in excess of more than 40% of the 2,600 teachers and schools in the Union covers Madison is known as the staff of the sick. Widespread sickouts had been the other school.


On Wednesday evening 98,000 teachers Union Member in statewide Wisconsin residents invited to head to the Capitol of the Senate and Assembly Thursday-sound. For more than a dozen areas-including for the purposes of the second day of the Madison-canceled Thursday classes, which were designed to swell the number of Klimaflüchtlinge.


Prisons, which are staffed by unionized guards lose their rights without discrimination on the basis of wage bargaining regime operating


nothing unusual in the absences, according to the spokesman of the Department of corrections.


Walker has said, he called on the security forces, where appropriate, the prison staff. Prison workers ' Union, the Director did not return messages immediately.


Union representatives were trying to pressure the key compromise, but Democrats said the Bill moderate would be hard to stop. Democrats lost the Governor Office and the legislature as well as the monitoring of the elections in November midterm review.


Even if the other Member States the possibility of Labour rights in the proposed bills, Wisconsin's measure is the most aggressive mode of anti-union move, yet the State's budget problems. It stops in the County of the State, collective bargaining and local workers, police, firefighters, and with the exception of the State Patrol.


Klimaflüchtlinge targeted Talousarviokomitean to launch a public consultation, what Tuesday, the President of the Committee is called "a citizen of the filibuster," which kept going until 3 a.m. Wednesday at the meeting.


Wisconsin has long been the bastion of employees ' rights. American Federation of State, County and municipal employees, was founded in 1936, Madison.


But when voters chose Walker, outspoken conservative, GOP Majorities, as well as the law Chambers, it placed in the Wisconsin Labor History's dramatic stage for reversal.


Walker's plan, the State of the staff contributions to the pension and health care costs go up an average of 8%. The changes would save the State $ 30 million, according to the June 30 and 300 million dollars to $ 3.6 billion over the next two years, the budget deficit.


Trade unions, yet can represent workers, but may apply for pay increases higher than the dollar index, unless the public referendum. Trade unions can force employees may pay fees to, and should be organized annually by the sound.


Have more costs and lost wage bargaining leverage they promised to public employees, in return for furloughs or layoffs. Walker has threatened more than 6000 employees in the State, if the measure in the way of dismissals that may take place in the order does not pass.


Wisconsin is one of about 30 countries, collective bargaining laws, State and local employees.


Walker has argued, the concessions are modest compared to mention, many Americans. The leaders of the European Union and the Democratic opponents say his real motive is to strike back with political opponents, who have supported Democrats in years.

Republican leaders said they expected to Wisconsin residents have welcomed the entry into force of the Bill of materials (BOM) to achieve savings of USD 30 million, according to the July 1 and 300 million dollars over the next two years to address the budget deficit of 3.6 billion dollars.

"I think the idea is supported by the taxpayers," Fitzgerald said.

Wisconsin has long been the bastion of employees ' rights. But when voters chose Walker, outspoken conservative, GOP Majorities, as well as the laws of the State of Labour it is placed before the full history for reversal of the dramatic stage.

Walker's plan, the State of the staff contributions to the pension and health care costs go up an average of 8%.

Trade unions, yet can represent workers, but may apply for pay increases higher than the dollar index, unless the public referendum. Trade unions can force employees may pay fees to, and should be organized annually by the sound.

Have more costs and lost wage bargaining leverage they promised to public employees, in return for furloughs or layoffs. Walker has threatened more than 6000 employees in the State, if the measure in the way of dismissals that may take place in the order does not pass.
