Union members gathered outside the Abraham Lincoln Hotel in Springfield yesterday, protesting Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s visit.  Terry Reid with the Illinois Federation of Teachers says they won’t stand for Walker’s quote, "failed policies" in Illinois. Reid adds people all across the state reject Walker’s policies.

Walker was in the capital city as the guest speaker for the Illinois Chamber of Commerce’s "Business Action Day."  Those inside the room during Walker’s speech hailed him as a good leader who took bold steps to rescue the state’s budget.
