Hundreds of protestors gave Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker what they call an "unwelcome greeting" when he arrived in Springfield this morning.  Michael Shipman, with IBEW Local 21 in Springfield, says what happened in Wisconsin can't happen to union members in Illinois.

Walker was the keynote speaker at the Illinois Chamber of Commerce's "Business Action Day."  He told the crowd that making a difference in people's lives sometimes means doing what's unpopular.  The Governor is facing recall in an election scheduled for June 5th.  He says regardless of what happens, he believes Wisconsin is in a better place today than it was when he took office last year.
