AFSCME AFSCME to Congress: Pass the Jobs Bill Now!

WisBusiness.com: Gov. Walker: Weekly radio address: Making government more efficient

SCOTT WALKER wants to tout a small $100,000 savings to date for the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS). What he does not tell you is about the great amounts of money that has been spent for additional, security equipped Chevrolet Suburbans that he uses in a secret service style motorcade for his safety as he travels the State of Wisconsin.

SCOTT WALKER is certainly not a popular person, but his security concern is having eggs and rotten tomatoes thrown at him. For that, he adds well equipped Chevrolet Suburbans and a host of State Troopers. Now that expenditure is a waste of taxpayer dollars.

Bill would bring back collective bargaining

The Democrats are giving it a try, but it is unlikely that Wisconsin Republicans will agree with them, at least in the Assembly. Watch the SEPAC website for more on this issue. It is worth our engagement to possibly make it happen.

Republican lawmaker's proposal would change how Wisconsin awards electoral votes | Appleton Post Crescent | postcrescent.com

No matter how this republican wants us to believe that it will benefit President Obama, if that were true, they would not write it up and push for implementation. Since January of 2011 the Wisconsin GOP under the leadership of SCOTT WALKER has been changing voter laws to benefit their re-elections or hopefully to save themselves from recall elections.

Consumer groups, attorneys criticize proposals backed by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, Republicans | Appleton Post Crescent | postcrescent.com

Every day that the GOP remains in majority control here in Wisconsin us consumers continue to be at risk. Now we will be limited even more on protecting ourselves from bad medications. The Wisconsin GOP wants us to think we will save money if we are limited from suing a pharmaceutical company because of a bad medication.

Maybe, just maybe, it may be something to consider if the savings were passed onto the consumer in the form of much lower prices, but we know it most certainly will not. This is yet another way to protect the pharmaceutical companies, to increase their profits in order that these politicians can get nice contributions for their campaigns.
