I think Snyder's gonna sign it; he had to expect a lot of uproar from Democrats and Union activists when he got behind the legislation. But, the Union demonstrators aren't giving up yet. Lot's going on in Lansing this morning.

Crowds are converging on Lansing, as a rally is being held outside the Lansing Center, near the state capital. From there, the crowd will march to the capitol building.
Union demonstrators rallying against right-to-work legislation in Michigan have turned the front lawn of the state Capitol into an impromptu carnival that includes giant, inflatable rats representing Republicans supporting the divisive measure.
Inflatable rats appeared on the edge of the lawn Tuesday morning holding signs that say, "The Rat Pack." The rats include signs labeling the three top Republicans pushing the legislation quickly through the GOP-controlled Legislature: Gov. Rick Snyder, Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville and House Speaker Jase Bolger.
Activists also erected tents and inflated two giant inflatable eagles.
Union members stood on the front steps waving flags and leading chants, including "This is what democracy looks like" and "Who's house? Our house."
State police have set up guard outside every Michigan Capitol entrance as lawmakers prepare to push through right-to-work legislation.

If Michigan, in particular, passes this RTW legislation, it's a big hit to unions across the country, imo. This is a huge deal. If Snyder bites the bullet and signs off, I wouldn't blame him if he took off for some golfing or fishing (or at least a few drinks); what a shit storm for him personally.
