5 years since the Act 10 protests in Madison.......

[a kennedy]

Five years ago today, Republican Gov. Scott Walker introduced legislation that would effectively end collective bargaining for public employees and unmoor Wisconsin from its progressive roots.

In his own words, it was the day he "dropped the bomb."

The bill that later became Act 10 launched the largest protests ever in Madison, including a temporary occupation of the Capitol; legislative chaos highlighted by Democratic senators fleeing to Illinois to forestall a floor vote; and Walker's historic recall victory.

The days, weeks and months after Walker's Feb. 11, 2011, announcement were among the most dramatic in Wisconsin's history.

Years later, Act 10 continues to influence the state's political, economic and social landscape. And it will continue to reverberate years into the future.

Today, the Wisconsin State Journal explores five impacts of Act 10 on the five-year anniversary of its introduction.

2. He has destroyed the State economically,

educationally, and he's working on the environmental aspect. He's also sucked the soul out of Wisconsin, robbed us of our identity, our history...all for payoffs from the Kochs and the likes of the Bradley's.
