AlterNet reports:

Illinois governor Bruce Rauner watched his anti-union bill called, "Right-To-Work", die a swift, cruel death in the House [May 14]. [...] The the tally [PDF] was 0 yes votes, 72 no votes, and 37 voting present.

Fun with math: The Illinois House has 118 members.

A handful of Republicans went for a walk during the vote, not publicly falling on one side or another.

    Oh, you lose. You can't construct a factual argument to support your assumptions so you get angry and resort to rather pathetic insults, nothing more than juvenile name calling, to try and reinforce your own self-esteem, hoping you'll prove your manliness to yourself.

    Deep down, you know you're nothing more than a giant spanner.

    Some people are angry all the time and they don't even know why. Anyway, Flight Simulator X is pretty much the equivalent to flying coach nowadays - there are better sims on the market :P
