Walker Pisses on Back of Union Members and Tells Them It's Raining

Gov. Walker is going to send a letter out today saying how much he loves everyone before he busts their union.

In an email to be sent out to state workers later Friday morning, Walker thanked public workers for their service and sought their understanding for broad and controversial changes he is seeking to the state's collective bargaining law. The Republican governor says those changes are necessary to balanced a $137 million budget shortfall in the fiscal year ending June 30 and a $3.6 billion shortfall for the 2011-'13 budget.

But the measure would exempt law enforcement and firefighters - groups that in many cases supported Walker in the November election - from those bargaining changes.


You see, all unions are equal, some are just more equal than others.

So, if you're a state employee whose union is getting busted, should you feel some solidarity with the cops and fire fighters and be glad that their unions are safe? Or are you pissed off that they have left you to die?

And what do Republicans think of Walker's favoritism?
