Labor Leaders must pay for parade if R's are banned

[tinydancer]

The mayor has a most interesting take on the banning of Republicans from the Labor Day Parade. Taxpayers money is used to pay for the event. I assume that R's pay taxes as well as D's.

I love his line "it's a parade for God's sake".

Labor leaders must pay for parade if GOP banned, mayor says

MILWAUKEE | Tue Aug 30, 2011 6:04pm EDT

MILWAUKEE (Reuters) - The mayor of a Wisconsin town said on Tuesday a local labor council would have to reimburse the city up to $2,000 for a Labor Day parade if organizers exclude Republican lawmakers from attending.

The move in Wausau, Wisconsin, came after a county labor official said last week that Republican politicians were not welcome at the event due to their party's stance against collective bargaining when state lawmakers voted to curtail it earlier this year.

Wausau Mayor Jim Tipple told Reuters on Tuesday that the decision to exclude elected Republicans "flies in the face of public policy."

"This is not a political rally, it's a parade, for God's sake," Tipple said, noting that taxpayer money is used by the city to pay for staging the event. Tipple's office is nonpartisan, and he claims no affiliation with either political party.

Would it be too much to ask that you stop being an idiot? Or if that's too much trouble, at least stop identifying yourself as a conservative?

Yup! You guys have got to cut morons like him from your herd. It makes it way too easy to slam Conservatism when attitudes like his are on full display.

The Dems are the ones who made it into a political thing.
Repubs are still in power, so they ban them from the parade and then expect for them to release the funds to pay for it?
What in the world did they expect?

 

[WillowTree]

pshaw,, the union thugs got plenty of money, let them fund they own damn parade..

 

[Seawytch]

Sure...just as soon as the people that put on the St Patrick's Day parade reimburse Boston for the years that parade has been going on.

 

[Conservative]

MOST FAGGOTS ARE DEMOCRATS !!!

How does one tell the sexual orientation of a bundle of sticks?

 

[FuelRod]

For God's-sake?
That's going to get him in trouble with the left too.

They expected their asses to be kissed. There's precedent from the Democratic Party.

You do know, don't you, that Boston is not Milwaukee?

Your butthurt is noted and dismissed.

 

[Truthmatters]

Sounds fair to me.

I agree.

They cant ban them from a publically paid event.

I think they should go.

I think cameras should be there to catch the warm welcome they will recieve from the crowds of workers who pay taxes.

They ready did publicize the 'warm welcome' the Republicans got... when they retained control of the state legislature after the unions spent $40 million failing to get it back for the Dims.

Yeah those horrible American tax paying workers
