State Arizona Republicans acknowledged they don’t have enough votes to pass the bill. The collective bargaining bills were written with the help of the Goldwater Institute. The group flew in union-busting Governor Scott Walker from Wisconsin for an event late last year. The bills would have taken away the rights of unions to negotiate at the bargaining table.

These are all good signs that when we fight back, we can win, even in places where governors and legislatures are hostile to working families.

[Just an aside. Does it seem many important Republicans have Rick or Scott in their name?] I'm convinced the GOP believes the world will end this year. So they are acting immensely insane.
