On Act 10 effects worry districts, teachers

As a person indirectly involved in education in a school district, it amazes me how everyone not in a district know so little about pay and reimbursement. For m-teg: Professionals, with degrees that benefit their work, should be and are rewarded in the private and public sectors. Teachers are constantly being retrained in college and out. What is ridiculous about this is Scott Walker and the 2010 Legislative Repubs are willing to cannibalize Wisconsin education and public employees in the name of private sector growth. They have helped put more people out of work with his actions then anything.
This about politics and power, and less about a budget that was short, and funded by covering funds from the feds.

Janesville is coming back. Much sacrifice has been made, and many people work somewhere else and come home once a month. However, the current practices implemented by Wisconsin government since 2010 has destabilized our city again. Out of chaos, business succeeds, (see Naomi Klein's 'The Shock Doctrine').

We've survived debt problems....check out Reagan, Bush I and Bush II. We have a harder time getting out of a depression...check FDR. Paul Ryan does the smoothest job of selling destruction and causing fear anywhere. People are catching on that he is for HIS people, and not for THE PEOPLE.

Hedberg is simply the best. The Ground Floor is a great asset, and criticism is easy. More of those folks should volunteer to help.

This is a real whiny op-ed column. This is an elected official, right? Wow.
Evan Wynn came to a meeting I attended with educators a week before his supporting Gov. Walker's Act 10. He called himself an independent, and a person willing to work with the other side. He also stood behind the Gov as he signed Act 10. He will not be forgotten in November.
On Walker's visits protested in Michigan, Illinois

It surprises me that several of these blog reactions have to assume, like the Gov, union folks are 'shipped in' for protests. They weren't in Madison, when my union brothers and sisters showed up angry, without outside assistance. So goes Illinois and Michigan. They are mad.
Also, Gov. Walker strokes his ego and fundraising muscle, on his plan for a future presidential bid as the "Union Busting Republican".
Opinions are welcome to be expressed, thanks to the first amendment, but consequences of those opinions are free too.

The WEA Trust is here to stay. And it signals what private insurers don't want...a non-profit company. I hope it leads to socialized care, so we can get on with real capitalism, and not life/death issues that break families.

916WI: Scott Walker and his legislature caused the gathering. The taxpayers would pay for it even if Tea Partiers caused it. What is more interesting is the overestimation that Walker's government made. This was supposed to cost 7 mil. Who is squeezing the taxpayer for better benefit?
