Wisconsin's Republican governor vowed on top of Friday to press ahead with legislation to curb the union bargaining rights of public employees as fraction of a deficit-cutting plan even as protests against the determine swelled.
Speaking at a news consultation on the fifth consecutive day of demonstrations against the proposal, Governor Scott Walker said the state is bankrupt and cannot pay its bills unless the plan is approved."I told the supporters what I would do to get Wisconsin working again," Walker said of his election in 2010.

In a bid to scuttle the suggestion, Senate Democrats fled the state on Thursday and Friday to deprive the committee of the needed quorum for a vote.
