All this week protesters are holding demonstrations against Governor Scott Walker to mark the anniversary of the first big protests at the Capitol last year.
People gathered outside the the Governor's mansion in Maple Bluff Sunday.
But, as Walker faces a potential recall election, he is defending his record.
He says his policies led to a balanced budget and helped improve the state's economic outlook, despite union protests.
Walker spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington D.C. Friday.
"Collective bargaining is not a right. In the public sector, collective bargaining is an expensive entitlement," said Gov. Walker (R-Wisconsin).
"This collective bargaining thing made a lot of people extremely upset, and it's not something they're going to give up on," said protester Alice Ogden-Nussbaum.
Walker introduced his collective bargaining legislation on February 11, 2011.
It was Valentine's Day when we saw the first huge protest at the Capitol.
