Gov. Walker Hopes Wisconsin Bill Will Inspire Legislation 
----------------------------------------------------------



On Friday, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker held a ceremony in his office to
sign the anti-union legislation. He told reporters he hopes Wisconsin
will inspire other states to pass similar laws. 
bq. Gov. Walker: "For us, we're doing this to lead the way in our own
state, to get Wisconsin working again, but if along the way we help lead
a movement across the state to pass true fiscal reform, true budgetary
reform, to ultimately inspire others across this country state by state,
and in our federal government, inspire others to stand up and make the
tough decisions so that they too make a commitment to the future. So
that our children, in all states and across the country, ultimately
don't have to face the dire consequences we face because previous
leaders had failed to stand up and lead, I think that's a good thing and
a thing we're willing to accept as part of our legacy."
