God Bless Scott Walker..all states need more like him !

Your absolutely right. We haven't had a recall election in about a month and a half.

He'll get his soon enough.

       Doug;
   You and the socialist lemmings are spitting into the wind ! Did you notice what Ohio did also ?  Presently, the move is toward freedom..as opposed to the move toward socialism in 2008.
   Are you going to stick around for the Obama recall election next year ?       

I wouldn't worry about socialist lemmings. They tend to jump of cliffs ever few years.

Tm7 , there is nothing we can do about the over charging and we all know that. If I charge an extra 30-50 % it is legal. Where the huge profits went  know one will tell. Where did it go? Well there was 30 million dollars dumped into the recalls from the union. Where did they get the money from? We can all figure this one out. It's just a matter of some willing to admit it. Also to the poster that said Walker will face recall , you are crazy. Like I said in an older post, when Wisconsin opens it's property tax bill and sees it didn't go up it will be cause of Walker. Unions can waste another 30 million if they want.

Wisconsin teachers were getting overcharged for health insurance..by a huge amount.  Naturally, they had to 'make up' the difference in their take home pay..so they kept demanding more taxes laid upon the citizens.
   It looks like that huge overcharge was going into Dem campaign coffers..and Walker, concerned for the taxpayers, put a stop to their gravy train !  That's why they trucked in thugs from all over the country, trying to intimidate the will of the people !
       God Bless Scott Walker..all states need more like him !

"Overcharge was going to Dem campaign coffers".....IG:  do you have any credible link on this accusation..??..  This seems like a fraud and is likely legally chargeable....I'm sure decent Wisconsinites, union or otherwise, would like to look into this.

 Then they better start looking..but I doubt they will look very hard.
  Those obscene profits by the union-owned insurance provider...went into the union coffers.  The union used those obscene profits to fund the Democrat campaigns..

    This, from the third link;
     "Democrats furiously oppose Walker because public employees unions are transmission belts, conveying money to the Democratic Party. Last year, $11.2 million in union dues was withheld from paychecks of Wisconsin's executive branch employees and $2.6 million from paychecks at the university across the lake. Having spent improvidently on the recall elections, the Wisconsin Education Association Council, the teachers union, is firing 40 percent of its staff".

                 Not rocket science...

Yes it's legal to use funds to represent your political opinion. Yes it was legal to charge 30-50% more than the going rate of the teachers policy. It is also a  real low down union thug,  Chicago style political thing to do. It was down right rotten. It gets me sick to pay twice what Iowa and Minnesota pays in property taxes and find this out. Tm7, couldn't they at least have been competitive on their insurance rates? They took me and every other tax payer in Wisconsin for a rip off of a ride and cost me enough money that I could have gone on a grizzly hunt in Alaska. If I take all the property taxes I payed over the last 21 years I've owned a house, compared it to Minnesota or Iowa I would easily have enough money for an Alaskan bear hunt. Teachers knew it and never said a thing, now after I find the whole bunch ripped me off for 21 years I'm supposed to have respect for them? Bull, you can cut their pay to 34 k a year. I made that last year with 30 years as a self employed carpenter working in the rain, mud and heat, running up and down ladders all day long. They sit on their asses in 70* rooms. I have no respect for a 30 year old 4th grade teacher my son had making 59,600 bucks plus 29k in benefits. Been a carpenter longer than she's been alive. Then she bitttches up a storm on face book cause she has to kick in a little. TM7, I don't know where you live but shame on you if you live here, know these things and still defend these people.

ihookem has been there done that. if you don't believe him look it up...
I know for a fact it's hard to find tax info because I've been trying to find mine.

When it comes to taxes, everything is higher than in Iowa and Minn. except Minn. has higher car registration. EVERYTHING is higher in Wis. especially the property taxes and 3/4 of property taxes are form the school tax.
