Walker Budget To Cause Layoffs In Rural Waukesha County

Good-bye Ethan Allen School for Boys, a juvenile justice facility at Wales, as I reported earlier.

The workers are stunned. The plan is bad for them, the kids sent there and the community.

Like others, Walker gave no real warning. He spent a lot of time in Waukesha County talking "jobs, jobs, jobs."

Not "layoffs, layoffs, layoffs - - including you!"

I'd love to know if any of them voted for Walker because they thought he'd reduce their taxes, or because they thought he'd only go after those evil Democrat school teachers.

If the Egyptian people can bring down a dictator after 30 years of police state rule, why can’t state employee unions bring down this Governor or at least start a Governor recall effort. This is the United States of America, re-learn how to do it yourself.
