right to negotiate over time, work rules, things like that? there are work rules that are very expensive to our cities and schools. and in this fiscal crisis we cannot continue to allow the cities and schools to have no authority over what they ask their employees to do. so that s the fight. we know where it stands. over work rules, overtime. other issues of collective bargaining. the republicans will not allow the unions to continue to have those rights to collectively bargain. the democrats who are holding out, are staying outside of the state, insists on the rights of workers to collectively bargain for their work. thank you very much state senators tim carpenter and glenn gr grothman. shut down showdown. republicans are pushing deep spending cuts, slashing programs for the poor. it may it please lead to another government shutdown. they will shut the doors on government. that didn t work too well for newt gingrich back in 95.
emails, contacting my constituents on my iphone. not to plug a commercial, but i m in touch with my constituents and know exactly what s going on. i m working probably ten times harder than the republicans were this past weekend. and i think the bottom line is we actually had a group, a law enforcement group that supported governor walker, one of the few of them to come out and reject the endorsement or take it back. so, it kind of tells you about the politics in the state of wisconsin. so senator carpenter is not right when he told me i was all wet in saying some of these municipal firefighting unions and police unions endorsed him. that s not the case? i m sorry. senator carpenter. i m sorry. the senator was wrong when he says he s denying that he was
