Walker reforms helping Wisconsin - even Milwaukee mayor is using them

Column: Why U.S. should cheer for Scott Walker

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett was Walker's opponent in the 2010 election and later attacked his proposals to reform collective bargaining. But with the reforms on the books, Barrett used some of the bill's provisions to help reduce the city's health care bill, saying that the alternative was to cut 300 to 400 city jobs.

^^^^

This was Walker's opponent in 2010.

Barrett hasn't ruled out running again if Walker is recalled. You can see why some Democrats are trying to discourage him from getting into the race.

He sure isn't leaving if the Democrats can't find anyone good to run against him.

Like Obama, Walker has the incumbent advantage. In contrast to Obama, Walker has actually presided over a successful and meaningful budget which is having good results for his constituents.

bump because I'm proud of my governor.

Or not.


I feel pretty good about Walker's prospects of keeping his job.

 

[merrill]

Walker believes most everyone else on the planet should make less money except for himself, Koch Brothers, Waltons/Wal-Mart family and the war and oil family named Bush.

Think about how that scenario will never let the economy come back?

How many on this board want to make less money for your efforts?

 

[Dragon]

The mayor of Milwaukee made use of the budget reforms agreed to by the unions, NOT of the suppression of collective-bargaining rights. As one apparently must keep reminding you folks, those two are NOT the same thing.

 

[PredFan]

I saw an article just this morning in USA Today about this.

If the people in Wisconsin are stupid enough to oust him and bring themselves back to the lunacy they had before, then they deserve to suffer.

Way to go governor!

Exactly....

Busting unions = lower wages across the board.

Why do repubs believe in lower wages for the masses? A damn good question!

 

[peach174]

Reasonable wages merrill.
What part of, there is not enough money to pay out for very high unreasonable pensions are you not getting? The state does not have 3 trillion dollars.

 

[Dragon]

If private-sector workers in Wisconsin were paid a decent wage, the state would have more revenue.

The real question isn't why public-sector workers have it well, but why private-sector workers don't.

 

[Amelia]

You have to ask why the union driven economy of Wisconsin puts Wisconsin at a competitive disadvantage compared to right-to-work states and other countries?
