Rep. Bill Kramer, a Waukesha Republican, walked out of the speech as Thayer was talking about tribal opposition to a Republican law relaxing mining regulations. The law is designed to help Gogebic Taconite open a giant iron mine near the Bad River Chippewa's reservation.
Thayer said the state and tribes should have collaborated on the law.

tribal extinction isn't negotiable....Walker and his "boys" don't seem to get that.
