Has Walker asked for management pay reductions?
I have seen nothing on this nor have I heard any talking heads saying anything either. I would think that if he is taking money from the rank and file then he should be taking it from non union employees like management and their executive retirements and health plans. If he has not said anything about this than our people need to use this as a talking point.

1. He's not looking for pay reductions, he's looking for power,
that is, to remove power from workers.

Public employees have already offered pay reductions and/or negotiating about such. He's not interested.

2. Non-union employees will be effected as well.

Including management, administrators and UW faculty and staff. The reductions will disproportionately effect those at the bottom of the payscale. However, as noted above, the bulk of this bill has nothing to do with budget measures. There are provisions to transfer unprecedented power to the governors office to manage Medicaid, Badgercare that would allow the Governor to override statute w/o any Legislative voice. There are provisions to strip employment protections based on sexual orientation.

4. A WI caller said that the previous Gov used "retired" police cars,
I think. Walker has a brand new 2011 model of something, made to order, no doubt.

Do these people have no shame? Rhetorical question. I know the answer. :grr:

5. I believe he's done exactly the opposite - given extravagant raises to administrators.
The man has no shame. He's a scourge on humanity.

Sadly, that list is too long.

6. Why does he hate people??
Edited on Mon Feb-21-11 07:17 PM by Angry Dragon
Why does he think everyone is beneath him??
Did he learn these christian values at the knee of his Baptist father??
If the rumors are true that he got kicked out of college for cheating, does he harbor a grudge against teachers??
Does he have mental illness??

7. He is getting his Repub bona fides probably for a Senate or Presidential run in the future
Walker will be a GOD in their godless circles if he sticks to his guns. The only way this will be resolved is if 3 Republican state Senators relent.

8. I think quite a few of those republicans are afraid right now
If they vote for the bill, they will tied to it forever and they do not have the connections he has
