Wisconsin Gov Rejects Compromise

Wisconsin Democrats are refusing to return to the Capitol until Republican Governor Scott Walker revises his controversial anti-union bill, but Walker has rejected a compromise that would have made the measure, which will end collective-bargaining rights, temporary. Tens of thousands of people have been protesting in the Capitol Square since Tuesday, and many local teachers participating in demonstrations are expected to be absent from schools again on Monday, forcing state officials to close schools for the fourth consecutive day. State Sen. Scott Fitzgerald said the chamber will meet on Tuesday even if the state's Democrats do not attend, and that lawmakers will look to pass Walker's bill.
