Your view pretty much sums up mine on the issue. The interesting thing about this though is that there is no state's rights aspect. It is the state doing this, and what little authority smaller governmental entities have ever had in legislating for local values have been severely limited over the last several decades.

I don't know what the breakdown in public opinion is on this, but it would not surprise me at all to find most of the citizens of Wisconsin disagreeing with this law as well. What the public actually wants is the last thing a lawmaker can afford to think of since the public doesn't pay the campaign costs. Or at least the only lawmakers that can get elected.
