Wisconsin Officials Rush to Walker-Proof Their Benefits

national review ^ | 3/3/11 | Christian Schneider

The contract also extends health benefits to domestic partners, which will offset a good portion of the $50 million in savings the district expects to realize from the teachers’ contributions.

So why are the taxpayers are paying for their sins? Shame on them!

Can you even imagine what those low lifes are teaching our children?

[headstamp 2]

And the lowly taxpayer takes it in the BOHICA again.

[Track9]

It’s going to Backfire on them.

[Gritty]

So, because they are busting the budget, the districts will have to lay off thousands of teachers. That means these goons will get more piled on them but they will just loaf and not teach. They have tenure. They can't be touched. It will be the kids who suffer even worse than they do now. A terrible education will become an abominable education.

Fire the entire lot of them, now! They are a bunch of worthless ratbags who deserve to lose their jobs. Thugs and greedy goons - that's what they are. They are a hazard to the community. They are destroying our children and their futures!

All aboard the taxpayer-funded, public-employee Gravy Train!

The drooling public is brainwashed by TV and submits to the scum unions will.

[Blind Eye Jones]

Fire the lot so they can beat their drums on American Idol... who knows they might win.

Wisconsin Officials Rush to Walker-Proof Their Benefits No problem. Hopefully Scott Walker will just target these school districts or municipalities with a greater portion of the cuts to balance the overall budget. The greater portion should be equal to or more than the extra benefits or pay that the unions were giving themselves. Make the dumb asses pay for ramroding through increased benefits & salaries

Does anyone recall a thread that listed the 6-figure salaries of the WI "Big Education"?

If so, a link would be great - thanks!

This is the redistributive change spouted by Obama. It is redistribution from the tax serfs to the privileged class. and it won't change until the serfs rebel in a meaningful way. It will be a close call if the rebellion will come before the parasitical class kills the taxpaying body host first.

[1010RD]

This is very good news for conservatives. We need to get the word out to our lists, friends and families.

These tactics, once understood, will not work again and will backfire.

What you’ll see occur from this is that Walker will get his budget and the unions will lose. Wise local governments, seeing this, will carefully craft contracts or let their contracts expire.

It will be the most Democratic locales, like Madison, in which disaster will occur. Either the unions will accept layoffs or they will return to the bargaining table and accept concessions.

The Democrats and the unions are in a lose-lose situation.

The best thing for our side is that they’ve exposed themselves as the greedy thugs they truly are.

I love it and this will go nationwide.

Wisconsin Conservative Politics Ping List Ping!

[ncweaver]

Just do like Bill Clinton did with the tax increases in ‘93 and make the law retro-active.

[Dixie Yooper]

The only list I remember seeing is the one of all the public school non-union school administrators who have to placate to these cry babies.

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

Fire the striking teachers and offer to any takers the package the striking teachers WOULD have received. You’d have thousands jumping at the chance.

You could offer the position at 15% to 20% less than the current teacher/administrator is earning and, in this job market, people would line up around the block to apply for it.

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

I’m sure the same shenanigans are happening right now in Illinois and Ohio. Delay is the unions’ friend!
