FULL VIDEO: Walker's Speech in West Allis

Gov. Scott Walker gave a statement at the Thomas G. Thompson Center in West Allis on Thursday morning.

Senate surprisingly passes budget repair bill without Democrats in attendance and with no debate. Before voting, a committee stripped some financial elements from the bill, a maneuver which Republicans said made it legal for a vote to occur, even though no Democrats were there. The central parts of the bill, taking away most collective-bargainning rights, remain. Sen. Dale Schultz is the only Republican to vote against it. Thousands storm the Capitol that night in protest. Earlier in the day, Republicans passed a resolution fining the missing Democrats $100 for missing the session.

Today in the Morning Gov. Scott Walker addresses the public at Tommy G. Thompson Center in West Allis.
