It's the republican way. Make the public service unions pay off the debt and give away the public utilities to corporate interests without open bidding. All in one bill. Socialize the debt while you privatize the profits.
It's a model that has been working well for a few of them for quite a while.
Actually, I'm not sure the above is entirely accurate. (Note I am not calling you a liar.) Teachers are also hired by individual school boards, but Gov. Dipstick is trying to pass a law to end collective bargaining for them, and all other public employees except police and fire.
Ok..... I'm a Municipal Utility worker albeit in Minnesota. I know many Municipal workers in WI. They work for the Municipal Utility not the State... Municipal Utilities DO NOT get LGA or Tax Money from the State...Cities do, Counties do, Schools do.....Muni's don't. AFSCME doesn't do jack for us and it doesn't do jack for WI muni workers either.....Gov.Walker is putting a stake in the vampire sucking the life blood from the people of wisconsin...
Wisc GOP Senators think things thru a little? Not just 1, but possibly 3 thinking seriously about voting against Walker's bill. That would kill it, and allow for a negotiated agreement that does not kill the Unions. I people appear to be getting thru to the Repubs and as politicians, re-election is everything.
Side track: I, as a liberal left wing Democrat do not and never did consider either of the Clintons to be either liberal or left wing. Mr. Clinton is a weak man that will do anything for his paymasters and Mrs. Clinton is a woman that would be the Queen of the country. I base this entirely on their record.
The Governor of Wisconsin is just about as stupid as he is stubborn. The people of Wisconsin need to get this guy out of office and back into the bar the found him in.
