The 'missing' Senators were found down in Rockford, IL. I am not sure when they would be coming back. Personally, that is not cool as they are being paid to do a job and have basically walked off that job. I'm also not happy with the teachers who closed down schools by calling in sick so they could go to the Capitol to protest - that shows the kids really ARE a priority (sarcasm). . . .

Walking out is not something that teachers do lightly. (Or any union I'd say.) I'm fairly union-neutral but acting like it means they don't care or did it for 'fun' or something misses the point entirely.
