Yeah, not like walker gutted the university system.. Oh, construction workers want a decent wage? FUCK EM. Teachers don't want to be underpaid and want some actual support? FUCK EM. LOL.Yeah, nothing like less worker rights, destroying education, destroying women's rights...Yep, the iron fisted unions are losing their grip on WI, it's about freaking time.
No need for a State to have to pay more than necessary for construction just so a union can get its cut, same goes with education and personally I could give a shit about you delusional views on womens so called rights.
"I could give a shit about you delusional views on womens so called rights."
What do you want to do, tie women down and force them to have c sections? Pull the fetus/baby out with pliers?
You idiots don't think about anything.
Yeah, people will vote for anyone who consistently says "MOAR JOBS, NO ABORTION, FUCK THE GAYS, LESS TAXES"[/If Wisconsin was displeased with Walker they had three chances in four years to get rid of him and didn'tdo so I would say they know whats better for them than Think Progress does.
[Using that logic Obama should not have been elected to one term much less two
OMG!!!! they took the word living out of a piece of legislation. You act as if they inserted "God" a few dozen times.Fuck this man. I can't believe people still defend him. Right wing lunacy has no end.
Scott Walker Prepares To Sign Budget That Eliminates The Living Wage And Prevailing Wage ThinkProgressFor months, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has said he won’t launch his long-expected run for the Republican nomination for President until he gets his own house in order and signs Wisconsin’s budget into law. Despite weeks of delays, he still may make that deadline before his planned announcement on July 13th.
After several back-to-back, late night, contentious debates — including an interruption by a bomb threat — the Wisconsin legislature sent a nearly $73 billion two-year budget to Walker’s desk.
Though Wisconsinites successfully pressured lawmakers to take out provisions that would have levied a special tax on bicycles, gutted the state’s government transparency laws and reduce a planned $300 million cut to universities to $250 million, a host of controversial provisions — several of them slipped in at the last minute — made it into the final draft.
The 11th-hour additions include a repeal of wage protections for construction workers on local government projects, the elimination of workers’ right to one day off per week, loosened regulations over payday lenders, and a provision to expedite approval for a tar sands pipeline that would bisect the state. Another change made over the Fourth of July weekend eliminates the state’s long-standing living wage law and replaces all references to a “living wage” with “minimum wage.”

During this week’s debate, Democrats offered 31 amendments aimed at undoing some of these provisions and restoring some money to the state’s schools, but all were rejected by the Republican majority.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle used scatological imagery in describing the finished budget — which lays off hundreds of public employees and could shift up to $600 million from public schools to vouchers for private and religious schools — but nearly every Republican in the Assembly voted to pass it.
Yeah, nothing like less worker rights, destroying education, destroying women's rights...Yep, the iron fisted unions are losing their grip on WI, it's about freaking time.
