The fourth day of protests against Walker?s budget repair bill attracted more people from outside of the Madison area than those earlier in the week. As word spread mid-morning that Democratic senators had fled the state to prevent quorum and delay a vote on Walker?s bill, protesters continued to pile in via school buses, with student groups parading around Capitol Square. Students got creative, with one UW-Madison teaching assistant holding a “Teaching Assistants are Sexier With Benefits” sign. A group of high-school cross-country runners from Madison held a “Runners Against Walker” sign.
