The state workers, including teachers, prison guards, basically all non-federal state employees in Wisconsin protesting at the capitol.
How DARE they be asked to contribute half to their own pensions and or 12.6% to their own healthcare cost???????
And now the cowardly Democrats have left the state to delay the vote that would pass this bill.
They were elected by the people, to represent those people, but refuse to do so because they know they don't have enough votes to stop the bill...so they sneak out of state? They are convinced they can force the Governor into negotiations, even though they can attempt to amend the bill themselves, but have not done so.
Probably can't introduce an amended bill via a Holiday Inn Express fax machine.
I NEVER, NEVER thought I would see the day that I am in such agreement with a Republican. But that day has come, and wish our governor would introduce a similar bill.
The Wisconsin Gov says, if this bill isn't passed, at least six thousand state employees will be bye bye...if it passes, he says no lay offs nor furloughs.
You would think they would just be happy having a decent paying job with countless holidays, medical care and a guaranteed pension.
