Senate committee passes right-to-work bill amid chaos

..........The 3-1 vote, with all Republicans in favor, one Democrat opposed and one Democrat not voting, came after Senate Labor Committee chairman Steve Nass abruptly adjourned a day-long public hearing citing a "credible threat" to disrupt the meeting.

Nass cited a story in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the Service Employees International Union and Voces de la Frontera would disrupt the proceedings and ended the hearing at 6:30 p.m. with dozens waiting to testify.

He ordered the committee meeting closed, prompting howls of protest.

Sen. Chris Larson, D-Milwaukee, called for debate, but the clerk called the roll of the five members, and three Republicans apparently voted in favor with no discussion. After the meeting ended, Sen. Bob Wirch. R-Kenosha, read the newspaper story, which said that the two groups planned a peaceful protest to disrupt the committee hearing.
