Exactly. This guy is a jackass and a jerk. Openly undermining a sitting governor. Nothing but a lowlife gutter thug.
Reg?
Must be short for Regal...
Bit by bit, the greedy government unions at the state and federal level are finding out what the rest of the populations who pays their bloated salaries and perks are feeling. IMO, a 30% rollback of their salaries and benefits would be a start.
The joy ride is over for now,folks. You’ll have to get out and push if you want to keep the ship of state moving.
the $100K is “total compensation” but your basic point
holds.
“Start with the union leaders.”
Yes, and everyone who shows up with one of those phony doctor slips gets handed a pink slip.
Then put high res photos of each weekday’s crowd onto the Guv’s website. On the leftist-hand side of each photo will be a long, scrolling list of those who’ve called in sick that day. Then, by executive decree, any student who is out of school because of AWOL faculty can log-in to the site and play “Wheres Waldo’s ‘Sick’ Teacher?”. Puzzle solvers get a “A” in civics for the quarter.
The “new normal” in attrition.
Effective immediately, The Governor shall order that all Republican Representatives and Senators will be provided WI State Police bodyguards. All funds used to pay these police officers standard and overtime pay will be paid from the salaries of the AWOL Senators and their office budgets. Any and all transportation, fuel, food, beverages or lodging purchased using WI state-issued credit cards will not be reimbursed to the AWOL Senators or their staffs for the period of this illegal attempt to hamstring and delay necessary budget reforms.
You’re off to a good start. Unfortunately, as we know, some liberal judge will declare all of this to be unconstitutional and strike it all down.
After all, it doesn’t matter what the people who are PAYING for all of this want, it’s just what the left wants . . . . . . and we KNOW what the left wants.
Many, if not most of the actual state workers know this and are at work.
Teachers are all employees of local districts, which are facing terrible budget problems due to the failure of the democrats to take any action to solve the fundamental problems of school funding and teacher compensation in the state.
For example, I looked up the wife of a friend on a teacher salary database. She has been getting 12% raises each of the past two years. $6500 raise from 09 to 10 and a similar raise from 08 to 09. During that time, I had my pay cut, then was laid off and spent months looking for a new job.
Her husband is on facebook complaining about all the sacrifices teachers like his wife have had to make. It’s all I can do to not tell him to ESAD.
The the Gov and WI government can ignore the judge.
That NEEDS to start happening. Leftist judges make decisions that have nothing to do with the Constitution or state Constitutions but in fact subvert them. Leftists judges’ illegal decisions should be ignored. Who died and appointed them God and King and Emperor?
Better, the legislature could impeach and remove this scum sucker for trying to usurp his authority.
I would.
Can you tell the details about the judge?? I hope Walker has the guts to stand up to the scum sucker!
Idealism is great, I like to indulge in it myself. But, the conept of subverting the Constitution and corrupting the law began occurring in Congress long before leftist judges.
Of course, it’s a disease that’s been going on for decades and decades. But the patient is now on the death bed practically.
The death of liberalism has been proclaimed many times, and yet . . . . the patient still LIVES!!!
Liberalism will still be with us as long as there is one person who believes that all wealth is controlled by the government, that rights flow from the government, that we are our brother's keeper and "it takes a village". Eliminate those concepts and you begin to eliminate liberalism. Then you have to start on the flawed philosophy of Marx, Trotsky, Lenin, Mao . . . . . . .
