I am guessing that Walker’s supporters can make up the difference.
Boycotts rarely work.
I'm confooozed!
Didn't Walker and the Legislature specifically exempt Police and Firefighters from these changes?
And surprise (NOT) this is how they (TYPICAL UNION THUGS) react?
Maybe it is time for Walker and the Legislature to start drafting another law to INCLUDE them as well?
Then they can really have something to act up over.
I think that is a great idea!
“Move your money to M&I”
Ms Bottari’s real purpose is to:
“Stay tuned. This fire might be hard to contain”
It’s a feel good story for unions and their members. Makes them feel like they’re doing something for a change instead of loitering, sleeping in the rotunda or disturbing the peace.
The GOP legislators had to use the tunnel because of the mob. The mob figured it out and rocked the bus Senators were leaving in after their vote Wednesday.
There, corrected!
Wis: Asst DA's rec’d layoff notices; GOP rec’d death threats – Who's the woman in custody?
I doubt Milwaukee high school students (few WI high school students), U of Wisconsin students (perhaps accounts set up by their parents) or their professors or the union members from across state lines or from around the country that marched Sat in Madison have accounts with M&I.
I posted the link for anyone who wanted to look at the opportunities to invest, such as through a CD.
These people are starting to get on my nerves, seriously.
The midwest is DEPOPULATING ITSELF due to high taxes, property and otherwise. I should know; I left Ohio because I was tired of the taxes (and weather). It’s no accident that these states continue to lose congressional seats.
Let me tell you a little secret. This love affair these public sector unions have with their states is a one-way gig...let’s call it “unrequited love.” Because once the ink is dry on their retirement papers, they hightail it out so fast, your hair would fall out. They get out of their home tax-hogging states with a vengence.
Here in St. George UT, there are many, many lovely gated communities. Most are fairly expensive, but the taxes here are low. I just looked up on Zillow a moment ago...you can buy a beautiful home in a secure gated community for $ 490,000. Your property taxes are less than $ 3,500 a year. There is an entire wing of a development I’m familiar with that is populated with nothing BUT retired public sector employees from NY, NJ, MI, and all the rest.

Homes range from $ 200,000+ to $ 3.2 million dollars. I don’t take offense at living a nice retirement; I DO take offense at expecting the taxpayers to take it on the chin, with no relief possible.
My own former MIL was a great example of this. She worked for the local school district. When we were newlyweds, living on beans & rice, each election she implored us to vote “YES” on the local school levy. Even though we weren’t sure we could pay our bills next month. As soon as her retirement became final, she established her legal address in FL, and thereafter only spent part of the year in Ohio.
When I asked her why, she said “I’m not nuts enough to pay these taxes.”
No kidding.
If a bank can’t absorb $190,000, it shouldn’t be in business. Er, that is without a federal bailout.
OOOOOHHHHHHH! Bagpipes! I’m so scared. I am, however, okay with tambourines and drums.
Let the chips fall where they may. There will be a re-alignment but we cannot back down against these ignorant thugs.
And thanks for the LINK!!
Bump!
I know it’s the truth!
Great post.
Kinda sad that this is an independent bank rather than part of a large national chain. Fed-up conservatives all over the country might well want to thank this bank with their own capitalistically gained money.
190 k? bank prob. spends that per year on lunches catered in during staff meetings....
"Walker’s recent moves include over $ 200 billion in tax cuts for corporations while stripping $ 1 trillion from Wisconsin schools and local governments."
Which is it, Mary? Pick one.
