Wisconsin made a mistake. They should ALWAYS be included. The beatification of police and firemen after 9/11 was ridiculous. They are just public workers, not untouchable saints. And I have been royally pissed off seeing NYC police and firefighters appearing with Ed Shultz on broadcasts covering recall efforts of Wisonsin Republicans, yelling for their "share".
Now that Gov.Walker has shown that what he did SAVES union jobs and keeps cities and towns from going bankrupt, it will be easier to move that ball down the road.
