The responses to Gov. Scott Walker?s proposal to undermine the ability of working Wisconsinites to bargain for fair wages and benefits have been appropriately passionate. Wisconsinites are angry with their governor, who promised to work across lines of partisanship and ideology to create jobs, but has instead chosen to play political games.
The governor?s budget repair bill, which includes a plan to gut collective bargaining protections for state employees, does not seek to get the state?s fiscal house in order.
