After three weeks of large protests, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker appears to be willing to make concessions on his budget repair bill, according to an email sent to Democratic state Senator Bob Jauch.
The email, along with others from the governor's office, were obtained by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel through an open-records request.
According to the latest email sent to Sen. Jauch, Gov. Walker's aides offered to amend his bill so that it would no longer limit public employee union bargaining over wages, mandatory overtime, bonuses, and hazardous duty pay.
The fight over public employee's union bargaining rights may have harmed Wisconsin Republicans chances at re-election.
If voters in Wisconsin could repeat the 2010 gubernatorial election, the majority would support defeated Democrat Tom Barrett over Walker, according to a report by Public Policy Polling.

Apparently someone got to Gov. Walker and injected a little common sense into his ideology of union busting.

Seems that didn't happen.
Wis. GOP bypasses Dems, passes bill.
According to Assembly Rule 76 (6), “During a roll call vote, any member may raise the point of order that a member appears to be absent from the chamber but is shown as voting according to the roll call display boards. If the presiding officer rules the point of order ‘well taken’, the vote of the absent member may not be recorded.”
Point of Order: Infraction of the rules, or improper decorum in speaking. Must be raised immediately after the error is made
