Protest Over Right to Work

Lawmakers caught their breath Thursday on "right to work," but Republicans are working to get the controversial bill on the governor's desk by next Wednesday.
"Right to work" passed out of the House of Representatives on Wednesday. Thursday morning many of the union demonstrators who marched in the hallways of the Indiana Statehouse decided to demonstrate in front of Rep. Jerry Torr's home in Carmel. Plans were already being formulated in the Senate. The body just passed an identical "right to work" bill last week but it will take up the House version in committee on Monday, on second read on Tuesday with a final vote on Wednesday. That means the governor could make it the law by Wednesday night and curb any potential Super Bowl fallout.
