House Democrats In Indiana Take Illinois Vacation…

    …and this looks as if this could be the beginning of a new trend for Democrats as a way to stop those union busting Republican governors from giving the axe to teachers unions all over America. I am glad that this is one time where government not doing anything is a good thing.

House Democrats are leaving the state rather than vote on anti-union legislation, The Indianapolis Star has learned.

A source said Democrats are headed to Illinois, though it was possible some also might go to Kentucky. They need to go to a state with a Democratic governor to avoid being taken into police custody and returned to Indiana.

The House was came into session this morning, with only two of the 40 Democrats present. Those two were needed to make a motion, and a seconding motion, for any procedural steps Democrats would want to take to ensure Republicans don’t do anything official without quorum.
With only 58 legislators present, there was no quorum present to do business. The House needs 67 of its members to be present."

   You can expect this kind of action from most every state that has a Republican governor.
