Walker Threatens State Employee Layoffs

As if forcing public employees to pay 50% of their retirement and taking an additional 12+% more for health insurance premiums was not enough, Gov. Walker is now once again talking about state employee layoffs as a way to close his self-claimed 2009-2011 state budget deficit.

He goes on to say that he has "no plans" to retroactively collect the pension and health insurance contributions once the courts rule in his favor on the collective bargaining bill.

He further states that he has no plans to have the legislature take up the collective bargaining bill once again because he is very confident that the legislature passed the bill legally the first time. SEPAC feels he will not follow the courts suggestion to take up the bill again and properly follow execute the legislative process because the GOP no longer has the needed votes to pass the bill.
