consider it a dirty trick. i think that thousands upon thousands of working families in this state are grateful to what the senate democrats did. they allowed time and space for people to really examine this bill and i think for people to really see scott walker and the republicans for who they are and what their true values and priorities are. their priorities are not creating jobs or balancing the budget. they took all the fiscal items out of this budget repair bill. they wanted to bust the union, and they wanted to end collective bargaining and strip away rights from working families in this states. and that s what they ve succeeded in doing. now, mike tate is in charge of the democratic party in wisconsin. are you now in charge of these recall campaigns that you re running against republican senators? and how many of those campaigns do you think you have a real chance on? well, we have eight recall going. and to say i m in charge would be a misnomer. there have been citizens fr

feet of our children, sons and daughters in the state of wisconsin. i know refinancing issue sounds confusing, because it is kind of is. initially the deadline what we said it was. we continued to be as nimble as possible to fix our budget hole. we are looking at two separate budgets we we talk about the budget repair bill and our biannual budget. the budget repair bill fixes the budget for this year, the budget hole that the last administration left us with. that s why the rush to do it. our fiscal year ends, coming up at the end of june. we needed to get that refinancing in order. now we are trying something, because it really is pushing up deadlines, it has never been tried before. we so desperately need that money to balance the budget. the next budget that comes along the people are talking about is the one that had that 3.6 billion dollar deficit, that s our biannual budget that governor walker has done
that governor walker has done an outstanding in making sure is balanced and has the lowest structural deficit in recent history. greta: have you gotten any threats yourself? i have not. in wisconsin we are encouraging passionate debate. we want passionate debate. that s what we ve seen. up until recently there have been few arrests. for the most part the protests have been peaceful. what we ve seen in the last 24 hours is incredibly unfortunate. governor walker is confident this debate will continue to be passionate. also, we want civil political discourse. people need to take a good look at what is going on. at the end of the day even after the budget repair bill is passed in its entirety, people will wake up the next morning, go back to their jobs and ultimately, i believe that they will see the great merits in this bill.
