Had the Democratic senators not left the state, the Senate would have passed the bill without public input or even public knowledge, maybe in the middle of the night. The people in this state have the right to know what our government is doing. The cabal in power is making RADICAL changes and hoping that no one will notice until it is too late.
This reminds me of the freezing snake story in which the snake begs to be saved, then bites it's rescuer and justifies the action by saying"you knew what I was when you picked me up". The Republican party promises that everything will get better, and it turns out that things WILL be better for Big Business, and the wealthy and ONCE AGAIN---- screwed the "lower classes".
