Sara Jerving: Right wing funds state news source Franklin Center

SEPAC has cautioned our members in the past about the writings of the "Conservative Leaning, Wisconsin Reporter". The CapTimes has revealed them even more and who is funding them. If you have "LIKED" them on Facbook, well, too bad for not heading our warning earlier. Maybe you are just using them as a source of "what the other side" is saying. That is okay then...

GOP bill to accelerate redistricting in Wisconsin falters - JSOnline

This bill is faltering because one Republican, Senator Dale Schultz says he will act with the wishes of his constituents. He will not act because he is told to do so by party leadership.

EDITORIAL: Reward state’s top performers - Beloit Daily News: Opinion

Another editorial off the mark. Merit Pay systems promote nothing more than holding a worker hostage. The ones to earn merit pay will be those who are part of the buddy system. People with authority to issue merit pay raises will use the tool as to make friends and destroy enemies, not reward performace. It will have little to nothing to do with performance.

Judge Hears Arguments in Wisconsin Union Fight

This is a fight started when Walker was County Executive.

Yes, Scott Walker was at UHWC...

Reprint from the November 2011 UWHC AFSCME Local 1942 Newsletter:

Donna Katen-Bahensky was proud to have Scott Walker in her building, showing the support our senior administration has for Mr. Walker. He was invited into UWHC to discuss a program that has been in place since the ‘90s. Project SEARCH is an amazing program for developmentally disabled students but was not created by the governor, and the grants announced were awarded by the federal government to the state.

So why was he secretly here? You would have to ask our CEO that. For those who have worked here a long time, we have not had a governor come for a public relations stop in recent years, if ever.

Here are the facts: Scott Walker was secretly escorted in the building under security October 20, 2011 via the loading dock. No formal announcement was made to employees that the governor was going to be having a press conference hosted by our CEO, until the day AFTER the press conference. Employees were warned that if they were in the area where the governor was going to be, they would be forcibly removed if “caught”.

The press conference was held next to the Mendota Market, where Donna Katen-Bahensky introduced Mr. Walker by saying, "I am honored to have you all here, but more importantly, to have our governor here with us today.” She appeared proud to have him next to her in her hospital.

We know a lot of people are very angry and upset that he was here after attacking our union by stripping it away, unlike any other union in the state. We want to say to all our members, thank you for what you do for the patients and family members who enter our organization.

A clear message has been sent that UW Health has no problem supporting Scott Walker and his policies. If you are one of those members who are disgusted, get active and stay informed.

State Sen. Schultz to vote against recall change

Again, Senator Dale Schultz will do what he believes his constituents of his present legislative district want done. We at SEPAC also believe he smells many little republican rats scurrying about and he does not want to join them.

WisPolitics.com: WPRI: State split on Walker recall; jobs/economy are primary concerns

This press release comes from a very right-leaning policy and research firm. If they are saying the state is split, then what do they really mean to say?

Politics pervasive, even at Freakfest

Very creative, much smarter than the average Governor, but then do not put SCOTT WALKER in any smart category. Great job on the part of these State Street Halloween WSC Justices.
