... Tom Barrett wanting to keep employee contributions at current levels

Ah, then why is Tom Barrett running? You see, Walker's plan is working; Barrett's entry into the race lays bare the fact that this is really just a naked partisan power grab.

I think Barrett’s plan is to beat Falk who smart Democrats know is too far left to be assured of winning against Walker. Barrett can appeal to “moderates”, and if elected, throw a few bones to the unions while leaving Act 10 intact and reaping the benefits that are already starting to come from it. Instead of running on “repeal” he’ll try to find a way to take credit for it, meanwhile scapegoating Walker as the evil conservative.
