Madison - Pro-labor demonstrators are preparing Saturday for what may be the largest rally yet at the state Capitol.

Among those expected to attend are farmers on tractors, labor leaders and the 14 Democratic state Senators who fled to Illinois to try to block Gov. Scott Walker's budget-repair bill. Walker signed the bill Friday.

Democrats have vowed to fight the legislation in the courts and at the ballot box -- there could be as many as 16 recall campaigns against state Senators from both parties. Union leaders are scrambling to try to deal with new rules established by the legislation.

The events kickoff at 10 a.m. with what is billed as a tractorcade as farmers parade on tractors and converge on Capitol Square. Music is due to begin at 2 p.m. with speeches at 3 p.m. Labor leaders Marty Biel (AFSCME), Phil Neuenfeldt (AFL-CIO) and Mary Bell (WEAC) are expected to speak. . .
