Politics blog: Not all Wis. law enforcement exempt from bargaining changes

Gov. Scott Walker is pushing for sweeping changes to collective bargaining that would ensure most people who works for the government in Wisconsin can?t negotiate their benefits, pensions and working conditions – except for local police, firefighters and Wisconsin State Patrol troopers. But not all law enforcement would be exempt.

Cullen Werwie, a Walker spokesman, said Capitol Police and UW-Madison police would be subject to changes proposed in the bill, which was introduced Friday.
