Recall Scott Walker website is now up
Doubt it will go anywhere though
It just gripes me that the teachers unions are demanding their right to be able to bargain for more pay and better benefits (at taxpayers expense) and forget merit based pay when a large number of kids who walk across the stage and receive their diploma are not any smarter then when they entered 3rd grade.
Oh, and regarding 'recall Scott Walker', he's simply doing exactly what he told the voters he'd do and what got him elected in the first place. So you're right, it probably won't go anywhere.
Stay classy, leftnutz
Recall is wishful thinking. 71% support what he's asking.
http://www.franklincenterhq.org/2200...fair%E2%80%9D/The poll showed that 71% of Wisconsinites believe that Governor Walker’s proposed budget changes that include unions to pay 5.8% of their salary toward the cost of their pensions plans and double their contributions for health care premiums to 12.6% are “fair”. Also given the choice to reduce teacher pensions and salaries or cut sports and extra-curricular programs for students, 44% would reduce the pensions and only 34% would cut sports and extra-curricular programs.

Apparently there is also a petition to get one of the Dems to come back to the Legislature so that they can vote on this proposal. I don't think that one will work either.
I don't know what's going to happen here, but I hope Walker doesn't give in. It's time for the public employee unions to start paying their fair share toward their "perks" like the rest of us and stop soaking the taxpayers every chance they get.

I wonder if he knew I was being facetious
Well, has Madison burned down yet, now that the Republicans passed the bill last night? Say what you want about Walker and Co., they have balls the size of Texas.
Hell of it is, the same thing passed in Ohio last week. Not a peep from anyone about it. Same thing passed in Indiana years ago. Again, not a word. Same thing is going on here in Iowa. Nuthin' on the news about it. Most States don't have public worker collective bargaining for retirement and health care and never did. So why is Wisconsin such a big deal?

Go Walker stick it to the 14 cowards and the far left protestors
It's not over; the law the Governor signed is on hold.

Of course it is. You knew the courts would get involved eventually. Now we'll see how long it drags out.
Walker is letting them keep that part of collective bargaining. But not the part involving working conditions and worker protections, which is much more important. Teachers should be allowed to discipline a student for being disruptive or disrespectful, and the administration should be required to back them up. And teachers need to be protected from retaliation if they give an athlete or a politically connected student a bad grade.
