It is ironic that the Wisconsin budget shortfall is about equivalent to the significant tax breaks granted to the largest big business contributor to the Governors campaign. Now he's attempting to finance this tax break on the backs of his middle class public servants, and use the ruse of collective bargaining as a "method?" to achieve fiscal efficiencies. If he pulls it off Koch & the Gov will be laughing all the way to the bank, & will be the heroes of the conservative movement for "breaking" the union, and using their concessions to fund the "cause"- lower taxes, higher profits for his core constituents, all the while weakening & dividing his political challengers. (Also notable is that he did not target the police & Firefighters unions- who suppoted his campaign-purity of purpose)

Don't know how these guys ever claim to be ethical.

History is again repeating itself.
