But Walker is lying. Statistically, whether it be Wisconsin, Ohio, Nevada, or New Jersey, union workers make on the average 6 percent less than their private sector counterparts.

And we know this isn’t about money or savings to the state of Wisconsin or its citizens, it’s politics." -- Leslie Marshall, <i>U.S. News</i> blogger, radio hostenoughalreadynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-69796287808478624102012-05-16T01:47:02.423-05:002012-05-16T01:47:02.423-05:00Probably has a few more tricks up his sleeve befor...Probably has a few more tricks up his sleeve before this is over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
