And who is surprised? Madistan Mayor/Commie Dave will use this to position himself politically and bash Scott Walker when anyone with a brain can see the game they are playing.

Once again, libs show us what they truly fear.

Heavy Lifting = tax increases for Madison residents.

Reap what you sow...heartfelt sorry for those on our side.

Their "deal" would never have gone down that way if not for Walker and the Republican Legislature.

Madison’s problem is the large radical university within its borders- current law allows the students who are only there for a temporary purpose to vote in their elections.

Their other problem is that much of the non-student population works for the state government either in the capital or with the same large university.

Madison is pretty hopeless at least until they quit allowing out of town students to vote.

It’s a start.
Not enough ‘sacrifice’ though.

A PAY INCREASE?? What the hell is that? I vaguely recall getting those back in the 90s. Has anybody else seen this elusive thing?

The problem, Mr. Mayor is that you are supposed to be working for and with the taxpayers and voters, not the union! You were supposed to wait until the financial situation was clear, which will be in about 10 days when the Sec. of State of WI will publish the law.

At that time you could still negotiate a similar agreement with the union if you wanted to, but you would not HAVE to negotiate with them on non-salary items as you do now. AND by extending the contract, you have put your city’s budget in future economic peril if funds from the state government are reduced.

You are either a union stooge, or an idiot!! Or BOTH!
