Wisconsin Senate Meets, As Budget Impasse Continues With Democrats Out Of State

MADISON, WI - MARCH 09: Fresh snow is seen on a tree outside of the Wisconsin State Capitol on March 9, 2011 in Madison, Wisconsin. As demonstations continue at the Wisconsin State Capitol against Governor Scott Walker's attempt to push through a bill that would restrict collective bargaining for most government workers in the state, the state senate voted unanimously passed resolutions to impose fines on fourteen senate democrats who fled the state. Each senator will be fined $100 for each day that they do not show up for senate sessions. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
