you better catch up. you are losing your protesters. caller: what do you think of the governor? i think the governor has an agend a. i think he wants to move forward with his agenda. he has done, the last month, he has been hard at work, i ll give him that. he has been putting forth bills that have been helping some of the budget woes in our state. but all in all, the budget repair, where the collective barg ang provisions are put in the budget repair address does nothing to help the budget. and that s the problem that we have. that s why you see so many labor unions out here. this is about honoring labor and unions. this is about the mere fact of workers and the middle class. it is not just we have private unions out here, we have firefighters. we are exempt from the bill. it s about respecting and honoring labor and making sure that our middle class continues to rise slowly.
provision in the collective bargaining exempted firefighters and police officer, so we are talking about other public workers, is that right? that s not necessarily true. we were exempt from act 10, but we are hit by stateay. i was in wisconsin yesterday where they laid off five firefighters because the cut in state aid to them in that municipality. so it does affect us. it does affect fire and police and public safety. greta: all right. let me get back to the teachers. they have been told to wear dresses below the knees, where is this? west ellis. greta: under what theory? this is the first i am hearing about this. do tell me how this comes into the mix? it happens because their collective barg ang contract has been exhausted so they have employee handbooks which are put together by superintendents and school boards to direct the teachers and employees on the
presidential election? dick morris is here. but first, it is not only governor scott walker s job at stake, lieutenant governor is also fighting to keep her seat. the lieutenant governor faces a democratic challenge malin mitchell in the recall. he is head of the firefighter s union. we spoke to her about the recall battle. nice to talk to you. hi, greta. greta: is it fair to say, lieutenant governor, but for the collective barg ang spat i can t think of a better way to describe it that there would be no recall is that your understanding that this is the reason you are being recalled, and the governor? i think that ultimately that is why our oponents decided that it was a good idea to spend between $15 and $20 million in taxpayer money to put on this recall battle. i do think it was largely about that piece.
