I support Governor Walker and the Budget Repair Bill to get Wisconsin fiscally on track.
As to the provisions that increase state employees’ contributions to their health insurance costs, which are overpriced “Cadillac” plans and pensions, which they contribute not a nickel – it’s about time.
Also, to “manage spending reductions through changing some provisions of the state’s collective bargaining laws” is greatly needed. As a former county supervisor I saw first hand that unions had more influence over decisions on managing our county budget than elected officials. It seems union members choose to elect those who will vote them largess from taxpayers and costs to taxpayers spiral out of control. This spending is not sustainable. The present system does not serve our State well and must be changed to better reflect the economic reality of private citizens and our Constitutional government
As to teachers lying about being sick and walking off the job. This teaches children: one, lying and deception are acceptable. Second, political ideology trumps the Constitutional process. Third, powerful unions are more important than “the children”. Shame on you.
