Their leaders are compensated via the union members dues. How hypocritical. CEO pay is deserved, but not union leaders pay which is tiny in comparison.

The taxpayer no more pays for them as they to the grocery bills of non-union employees.

Just giving my support AND ideas to Walker and the GOP.

I've been lobbying for them to break the bill up for weeks.
So, are you or are you not a paid, registered lobbyist? or paid by anyone to support one political side or the other? You did say twice now that you've been lobbying Gov. Walker for weeks.

Lobbying - as in calling and writing for him to stand strong - not a crime last I looked. Same thing for all those big brassy GOP Senators. Offering support and ideas.

And, as a good neighbor, I'll remind you to return the knife you borrowed that you stuck in my back, along with the ball and chain wrapped around my house, that you used to "collectively bargain" my property/school tax increases
while my home value has declined.

Thanks a lot neighbor
