Gov.-elect Walker urges lawmakers to stop work on union contracts

Democrats provide the real truth about the present negotiations involving the state employees.

"The contracts currently under consideration by the unions were already budgeted for in the '09 biennial budget, with money already held in the state compensation reserves," the statement read. "They contain no pay increases or other changes that would adversely impact the current state budget."

"But these workers have been dutifully performing their jobs every day for 18 months, without a contract, based on money that has already been budgeted," he said.
