WITI-TV, MADISON Before protesters stormed the capitol, the mayor of the city of Madison tried to pull a fast one. The governor's budget repair bill was on the fast track, and Madison Mayor Dave Ciesliewicz was racing against the clock to pass new union contracts first.

Why am I not the least bit surprised by this?
This collusion would make any such contracts null and void and probably get all involved fired, right?
This will really generate sympathy for the poorly paid, under-appreciated public union folks.

So........how many contracts have been signed and sealed during the last 2.5 weeks?
I guess we should thank the pubs, useless idiots that they are.
I’m a bit confused. Did the good guys win or lose?
I think there could be a two phase prosecution.
Phase 1: Prove there was criminal collusion between elected Democratic officials and the Unions in an attempt to defraud the public.
Phase 2: Prosecute the Unions and the Democrats under the RICO statute for racketeering and seize assets.
The the State of Wisconsin could use the proceeds to close the budget gap.
Which is why it is in the interest of hosts everywhere to eliminate the parasites.
