Amid protests over union rights, Republican is set to release his two-year spending plan
MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's explosive proposal to take nearly all collective bargaining rights away from most public workers represents just one piece of his vision for the Midwestern state's future.
Now he's ready to reveal the rest.
Walker has confirmed he will propose cutting education aid by about $900 million, or 9 percent statewide.
Walker's proposal has sparked two weeks of massive protests. A sit-in in the Capitol began Feb. 15 and hit its peak Saturday, when more than 70,000 people descended on the Capitol grounds for a rally.
Police on Monday blocked public entry to the Wisconsin Capitol.

The police stopped CITIZENS from entering a PUBLIC building in order to exercise their Constitutional right to protest against their government?? The CITIZENS PAID for that building!!! It's only the beginning....and a matter of time before the "serve and protect" division of our republic starts shooting citizens who "get out of line"...because you know, we just can't have that "protest" stuff...just pay and shut up. Or else.

The governor is following the peoples will.
AMEN!
