Madison in Montgomery?
Washington Post ^ | February 24, 2011 | Mike DeBonis

In Madison, Wis., thousands of public employees and their supporters have gathered to protest a plan by Gov. Scott Walker (R) and Republican legislators that would strip them of their collective bargaining rights. Some Democratic lawmakers have left the state, depriving the legislature of the quorum necessary to pass the plan.

The liberal Democrats who run Montgomery County have been screwing things up for years. Montgomery County was the second most prosperous county in the entire U.S. in the early 2000's. Now the liberals have created a budget crisis and are trying to get the unions to accept concessions. As expected, the unions are ready for a confrontation.

It would be interesting to see a Madison type situation so close to Washington D.C.

The chickens of the “greedy, criminal, political” public service unions have come home to roost!!! Just remember, folks the industrial labor unions were instrumental in destroying millions of jobs and industries and now...the public service unions want to bankrupt the nation and states. No public service workers should ever be allowed to organize into destructive unions. Americans, your future, your children”s future is on the line. Force your politicians of both political parties to destroy and undo these socialist parasites across the board!!!

“Didn’t the county mounties protect union thugs intimidating..”

I don’t know if they protected the union thugs as much as they ignored the fact that a boy was being terrorized by them and was alone in the house. I think they simply did a 10-8 (back in service) and left. Protection or ignoring?... you decide.
