Behind closed doors, Scott Walker, the Republican who has been governor for about six weeks, calmly described his intent to forge ahead with the plans that had set off the uprising: He wants to require public workers to pay more for their health insurance and pensions, effectively cutting the take-home pay of many by around 7 percent.

Scott Fitzgerald, the Republican leader in the State Senate, slipped out of the Capitol Wednesday morning with his sunglasses on, head down. Protesters had gone to his home earlier in the week, forcing his family (including his wife, a school guidance counselor) to go elsewhere for a bit.

if a kid gets hurt somehow at a rally who was brought there via a school official, some parent can sue the ass of the district (but in the end the taxpayer pays that ,too-so it’s always a lose/lose proposition)
when gubmint “wins”, we all lose.
Very interesting.
Not to mention the safety issue - a young kids in the middle of a bunch of union thugs? This is a recipe for disaster.
Human shields? That’s lower than low.
He's using RR's model for the AT Controllers. They ended up being fired and came back crying to no avail.
The communists and some people on the right said that Glenn Beck is crazy. If this is not nipped in the bud, look for 0b0z0's communists and community organizers to burn most of US cities in a single "DAY OF ANGER" and repeat if necessary!
0h0m0llah will have his state of emergency and pull the Internet kill switch a la Mubarak and disarm the public.
Mu-Barak 0b0z0 will be happy to do it. What was that you were asking? Eligibility, huh?
Government employees would rather America die on the floor than give up their lottery style government salaries and pensions.
GOVERNMENT UNIONS
Yet...

17K a month is a lot. Either that or she can’t do math.
the gubmint unions need to get with reality - defined contribution plans (like everyone in the private sector has if they have a plan at all ) NOT defined benefit plans.
I can understand fulfilling existing contracts/obligations (at a reduced level)
,but NEW hires need new rules.
The gravy train has derailed-states are broke as are the feds.
Nowhere is that more obvious and provable than CA- the bellwether of our Grecian formula demise:

Just like he did in Egypt. He just keeps stirring the pot. The longer he and his kind are in power, the sooner we'll be seeing WWIII (and they'll be happy).
It’s going to be rich irony and crow eating when the ones lighting things on fire will be the unions and not the Tea Party.
I’m afraid you’re right on the button.
looks like a good day to turn on the lawn sprinklers.
Someone who lives there should be taking names and posting them online!
Obama just said it looks like an ‘assault on unions’. Good observation!
That’s the single best political cartoon this year. Gets under much skin.
Post at will.

“The masses have no sympathy for these public union leeches. Their gravy train is over, their looting of taxpayers has left us all broke.
I’ll enjoy watching these stains on society lose their homes and not have a clue how to find work/income that isn’t a union handout.”
Amen, brother. They can piss and moan all they want. I say fire them all over the summer.
Yep, if split equally (that’s 600 per month each), then 0.07/600 = $8,571.43/month each. That’s more than most middle income earners in the country. Generally teachers land in the middle class pretty squarely. Apparently Madisonistan has a pretty high cost of living; that, or something’s wrong with her math (suprise! a publik skrewal teacher that can’t do math)...
Whoops, that should be 600/0.07 = $8,571.43...
