not good. Democrats delay the vote, wisconsin Taxpayers May just Have Pay More in Taxes, Layoof more public workers including teachers. Because to many people have asked for retirement amounts that will break the back of the taxpayers.

Milwaukee County had a problem with the retirements whereby the Retiree could receive a Lump Sum Amount of in excess of 500,000.00 (someone from Wisconsin probably knows better what the average amounts were being given). Scott Walker became the Milwaukee County Executive just because of these Massive Lump Sum Payments. The virtually were emptying the tax base of Milwaukee county.

I spoke with my mother a former Milwaukee County employee, she was informed by a letter her pension would be cut 323.00. 50 Years of paying into the Milwaukee County Pension Fund and at the age 74 years of age she retired (2010). 40 years ago Milwaukee County required all employess to live within Milwaukee County - so we had to move from Waukesha County to Milwaukee County. Luckily the farm/farmland was being considered for Scotsland (Olympia Resort). Parents/grandparents made out on that one very good.
