I just got the full story on Wisconsin. I guess the governor gave out a shitload of tax breaks and expects the unions to cover it. I wonder how much he contributes to his pension and benefits?
that's pretty much the sum of it..
they had $130+million in surplus.. he came in and gave it all to tax breaks for corporations.. then claimed the state was in a fiscal crisis and to pay for it, he went after the union..after he said he wouldn't negotiate with them because they don't have any collective bargaining power rights.. of course by law they do, so last Friday night he decided to change that and wanted that new law voted in the other day.. wanted it real bad and real fast.. I imagine if Obama had done something like that, come to Pelosi on friday with a new law, forced her to have the vote on th 3 days later, we'd be having JFK llike documentaries running about him..
the shitty thing is, the unions have said they understand the fiscal crisis and will sit down and go over their contracts... but nope he won't negotiate with
terrorists unions
of course Boehner blames it all on Obama..
