I do not understand how conservative minded people can support Governor Walker's shameless attempt to restrict the right of his citizens in the guise of balancing the budget. As a long time fiscal conservative, I agree with the state workers contributing more to their pensions and health care, and as far as I can see, so do they, but this blatant attack on their right for representation has nothing to do with fiscal conservatism. Tea Part people are for people's rights; I read the lenghty bill and see a lot of places where the Wisconsin government is setting its self up for some serious cronyism.
Take for example: no approval or certification of the public service commission is necessary for a public utility to purchase, or contract for the operation of, such a plant, and any such purchase is considered to be in the public interest and to comply with the criteria for certification of a project".
I work for New York's State government, and snippets like that can go a long way to sending Wisconsin into a pay for play nightmare. Tea Party people are fighters for the people, they should denounce the union busting nonsense and get on the side of the people. It is time to balance the budget, read the bill, balance the budget in Wisconsin, do not let shifty politicians hide behind the Tea Party's morals.
