I just finished watching an interview of Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald on CNN Parker/Spitzer in which Senator Fitzgerald was asked, if the Unions have stated they will give Governor Walker the retirement contribution and additional contribution to health insurance costs as he has repeatedly stated in press conferences, then why do you need to take collective bargaining? Senator Fitzgerald stated that the increased contributions toward retirement and health insurance will not come close to closing the state's deficit.
First they said that the budget repair bill would not impact collective bargaining and then they stated that if state employees would provide for a "modest" contribution toward their retirement and health insurance premiums there would be NO NEED for massive layoffs. Now, in this interview on CNN Parker/Spitzer, Senator Fitzgerald now changes the demands and says the concessions by the Unions is not enough. This is absoluteley unreal, I do not like calling people, especially people of respectful positions liar's, but Walker and Scott Fitzgerald are absolute liar's!
I am looking for the source, audio or written that I was advised today that Governor Walker said public or state employees are "worthless". When I can confirm this yet to be confirmed quote I will share it wide and far!
