I Have Such Cognitive Readers

From my post about Scott Walker's handbasket:

Rumors abound with potentially 500 layoffs looming in March. Those 500 employees which will be a mixture of represented and non-represented employees. Let's see they are already forcing twelve unpaid furlough days down our throats which is equivalent to a 4.6% reduction in pay. Unemployment compensation is running at 72 to 92 weeks. With the loss of jobs/services and the huge cost of unemployment compensation the County will be basically bankrupt and core services that are depended upon by residents will be abandoned. Yet the County Executive and County Board are still trying to play hardball with union negotiations. There is a reason its called collective bargaining and not dictatorial bargaining. Anyone interested in the legalities surrounding those issues needs to look up MERA (municipal employee relations act). I suggest the County Board and Executive Walker do just that, maybe a little reality check instead of Fantasy Bargaining Island might clear their heads a little bit. My own feelings are that nothing will be done by this collection of incompetent politicians until the County completely falls apart and the residents finally grasp how they were misled and lied to by this group of carpetbagging politicians.
There will be more about the County's failures to follow the law in the days and weeks ahead. Oh, yes, you know there will be a lot more.
