When Rep Wood was arressted for the FOURTH time and tossed in jail, Republicans naturally tried to get him REMOVED from office. The Democrats in the Assembly refused to boot Wood out of the Assembly because he promised to vote their way.
Now when the Assembly should not even be meeting, they call a SPECIAL session to approve the labor contracts, and have the State Patrol go pick up Wood from jail and bring him to Madison to cast the DECIDING vote. The Rats are low, but this sets the bar lower than I thought was possible. Disgusted does not begin to describe my feelings right now.
If the Rats thought the election in November was brutal, wait till 3023. This is war!!
They have a total of 15 contracts to consider. Each approval should I hope result in a 2% reduction by layoff. Thirty % reduction sounds like a good goal.

3023 is a very long time to wait.
I bet 2012 will be brutal also.
what do these sleazeballs do when they are not in government? they must have private businesses or jobs...see to it that they do not stay in those businesses...
I can’t wait until 3023. I can’t even wait til 2012.
Walker is going to cut entire departments worth of people - so the contacts are moot.
Commerce department is set to be cut.
I’d favor tourism to go too - why is the state spending millions of dollars on ads in Milwaukee and Madison and Green Bay to tell Wisconsin residents they can vacation here?
