Today, Indiana’s controversial Right to Work bill went right back to being the subject of a boycott on the part of house Democrats.

On Monday, Democrats did return to work as amendments to the Right to Work bill were considered.

Today, with the Right to Work bill eligible for a final vote, Democrats went right back to denying a quorum in the house. “What took place yesterday on the house floor with Speaker Bosma truly was nothing less than insulting,” said Ind. Rep. David Niezgodski, (D) South Bend. “We had 51 additional amendments that we had to hear, and he shut that debate off.”

Niezgodski was referring to the way Ind. Rep. Brian Bosma, the Republican Speaker of the House abruptly halted the consideration of amendments on Monday. The move came right after the defeat of a proposed amendment that would have put Right to Work before voters in the form of a referendum.

House Democrats left the chamber immediately, and haven’t returned since. “We have the right to say, no, you can’t conduct business that way, so that’s what the house caucus, the Democratic caucus is doing,” Niezgodski said.

Over in the Indiana Senate, work on the Right to Work bill is over. The bill did pass, but not before nine Republican senators voted “no.”

“Well, it was a close vote, margin was 28 to 22, there was certainly strong bi-partisan opposition to the Right to Work bill, but it did manage to get the required number of votes, which of course, to pass the Indiana State Senate you need 26 votes to get a constitutional majority, so it barely got that, but it did get it,” said Ind. Sen. John Broden, (D) South Bend.

Republican Senator Ed Charbonneau of Valparaiso was among those who voted no. Republicans Senators Zakas, Yoder, Mischler, and Kruse all voted yes.

The nine Republicans voting no were Becker, Bray, Charbonneau, Landske, Nugent, Steele, Waltz, and Waterman.

Some Democrats wonder if the senate vote is any indication that Republicans in the house could be wavering.

“I think the potential is certainly there, to where there may be enough representatives that choose that this is not the time, I don’t know that count, I don’t think it’s a huge chance, a strong percentage, of you know, opportunity to do that, but I do believe that there are a number of representatives on the other side of the aisle that are pretty sick and tired of this issue as well as us,” said Rep. Niezgodski.

The house is scheduled to reconvene at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
