Wisconsin Gov. Walker Ginned Up Budget Shortfall To Undercut Worker Rights

Wisconsin's new Republican governor has framed his assault on public worker's collective bargaining rights as a needed measure of fiscal austerity during tough times.

On behalf of the entire state of Illinois, I'd like to welcome the refugee State Senators from Wisconsin! You'll notice we treat working people differently here. Oh, and a special thank-you to Governor What's-His-Name for all that spare cash to build up our high speed railroad here in Illinois! We didn't see it coming but now that it's on it's way, we really appreciate it.
