I don’t know if this governor expected such a huge backlash and just assumed that the unions would take it lying down. So let me say it plainly, this isn’t about balancing a budget as much as political bullshit. Fix the problems. The unions have shown that they will work with you, if you actually had a working plan. Here’s the link to the NPR story: The Long-Term Effect Of Wisconsin’s Union Battles.

Hi Joe~
Thanks so much for putting the news in Wisconsin on your blog. I have been to the demonstrations and they have been non-violent and peaceful. One of the bad videos out there is from Fox News – if you look closely they are showing a mob with palm trees in the background and no snow. I don’t recall ever seeing palm trees in Wisconsin!!
Matt’s videos have been amazing!
Thanks for sharing!!
