Senate Minority Leader Mark Miller (D-Monona) reversed course in a statement at 8:15 p.m., announcing the 14 Democratic senators will not return from Illinois on Thursday. Earlier Wednesday Miller said they would be back. They had been able to block a vote on the bill for three weeks because 20 senators had to be present to vote for it. Republicans control the house 19-14. None of the 14 Democrats was present for Wednesday's vote.
