The first issue we have with this legislation is that it s targeted on two levels: it punishes
dissidents (those who voted against Walker for governor) and it rewards those who did support
him.
The budget repair bill affects all public union employees - except police, firefighters, and
state troopers.
Suspiciously, those three groups all gave support in some way, shape or form to
Walker s gubernatorial campaign.
Equally as suspicious, those left affected by the measure most notably teachers (WEAC) and state, county and local government workers (AFSCME) opposed Walker s run for the governor s seat, and instead supported Democrat Tom Barrett.
Walker s response to the obvious question of why some unions were targeted for punishment
and not others was that the government needs to be able to function in an emergency.
However, that s a cop-out, and not even a good one.
