State Senate Minority Leader Mark Miller (D) released the following statement this evening:

In thirty minutes, 18 State Senators undid fifty years of civil rights in Wisconsin.

Their disrespect for the people of Wisconsin and their rights is an outrage that will never be forgotten.

Tonight, 18 Senate Republicans conspired to take government away from the people.

Tomorrow we will join the people of Wisconsin in taking back their government.
