GOP lawmakers can march in Wisconsin Labor Day parade
The president of the Marathon Count Labor Council in Wisconsin has reversed his decision not to allow republicans to march in the Labor Day parade. The mayor of the town said that if Republicans were not allowed to march, the organizers of the parade would have to reimburse the city. The Labor Council said that they had many offers to help pay for the parade, but that the purpose of their statement had been to encourage debate about the meaning of Labor Day, which they had done.
