I believe it....The truth is coming out now...
They were blocking the doors to the capitol and literally taking over the capitol building for 2 hours today...
2 years ago a friend and I went to the Capitol to attend the budget hearings. There was a steady stream of Afsme marchers circling the rotunda. It doesn’t take many to make the noise in the rotunda painful. When the marchers spotted us they came over and tried to give us green T shirts — the uniform of the day. We declined and showed them our signs supporting the Republicans and they started shouting at us and verbally abusing us. They called me a “Mequon Nazi”. I don’t know why — I guess they thought it was clever.
Not only did these folks shut down the schools, they’ve shut down all work at the State Capitol. I can’t imagine how the regular employees could work.
When we went into the hearings, the room was filled with other union folks — a sea of green T shirts. Signs were not allowed in the hearing room, but the T shirts displayed their interest. We were not allowed to bring our signs in. At a break in the hearing I went to the front to talk to a Republican State Senator to express my support. She was visibly shaken when I spoke to her, until she realized that I was friendly and supportive.
THe union thugs can be very intimidating and they are ALWAYS there during budget hearings. Day after day. My friend and I were the only ones representing “our” side.
