I fail to see where Wisconsin taxpayers will save a dime because of Act 10. The law does not really even deal with fiscal issues. Public employees made wage and benefit concessions before this law was enacted.
I am WI too - and I agree

pretty easy for those from other states to say what is right for our state, when they are not the one paying state taxes and what we will or will not benefit from. More of those "under-informed people" who watch FOX, MSNBC, CNN, read WP or whatever other un-credible source they are always complaining about. You all have no idea what you are talking about until you live here!
TheyGotItRight, it's about power--who has it and - who do not. nm

Wisconsin Business Received Letter From Union Threatening BoycottApr 01, 2011This is what the unions are up to lately. I think it's ridiculous. This is a free country and they are threatening to boycott businesses that do not put their signs in the store supporting the union. They are out of control. So now they apologize....is that supposed to make everyone feel better?

This Is What I See Coming For WisconsinMar 17, 2011I have copied and pasted something someone wrote that pretty much sums up Scott (slime) Walker's intentions.
Diane Ravitch has it in a nutshell. Of Scott Walker, she writes:
He expects that over time, most public workers will stop paying dues, especially now that they have to pay more for their healthcare and pension benefits. And thus will he cripple, perhaps permanently, a perennial political opponent.
If Gov. Walker succeeds, there will be no organized voice to oppose hi ...

So Much For Nonviolent Protest In Wisconsin..Mar 03, 2011 Listen to the whole thing...it really gets nasty with the female voice screaming F you F you.

If This Is The Wisconsin Bill They Passed, What's Wrong With It?Mar 10, 2011I spent the last few hours reading it (I really hate legalese-LOL) then did a search on collective bargaining. I did see where they wanted to tie raises to the CPI but can't find it now. Anyway, the pages that I found CB in the search are:
Pgs. 955-964, 998, 1045, 1061, 1312, 1332-1334. So, tell me where they are stripping collecitve bargaining from the unions. Fair question.

Republicans Voted On Wisconsin Bill Anyway...Mar 10, 2011The verbiage in this article is astounding. The Dems held the government hostage as much as they accuse the Republicans of. All this rhetoric about attack on the people of Wisconsin...what a load of hooey. They act like there is not a person in Wisconsin who is NOT a public worker. What about the REST of them??? The ones that have to foot the bill through their tax dollars?? And all the unions/Dems can do is try to whip up the old class warfare crap. Wha ...

Update And Asking For More Help. Sep 24, 2010I posted this a couple months ago. Basically, it's about being depressed, having socially anxiety (or maybe avoidant personality disorder). http://forum.mtstars.com/245664.html
Well, instead of getting help then, I decided to get another MT job to try one more time. And I am getting worse. I realize I need to get help now, or my life is not going to go anywhere. I'm starting to have more suicidal thoughts and anxiety attacks.
I don't have money to go to a doctor. I know I ...
E-cig UpdateJul 26, 2010Since this thread started last week, I ordered, received, and have been using e-cigs for 4 days. They're awesome. I've smoked since a teenager - before cigarettes were taboo. Since working at home, I was smoking 2+ packs a day. I'm now smoking maybe 8 cigarettes a day, with absolutely no withdrawal. When I smoke a real cig now, it's more of a choice rather than a necessity. When I run out of my cigs, I won't be buying a new supply ...

Update On HJ Res. 15Jan 07, 2013Did some more research on this and apparently Rep. Jose Serrano (D-NY) is simply a fanatic about repealing the 22nd amendment. He actually has tried this before (HJ Res. 5) back in 2009, so I'm guessing it'll get about as far this time as it did last time.
I would, however, like to have a discussion about the pros and cons of this bill - apparently there are some that would like to see this amendment repealed. I'm actually for more term limits - senate, house, supreme ...
Update On MILJan 13, 2013As you know, she has a new diagnosis with Alzheimer's and am getting her started on coconut oil, well coconut oil gelcaps, as that was what was available at the store at the time.

Just An UpdateAug 06, 2013I posted a few times on the prayer board about being abused by my sister for as long as I can remember. Several of you encouraged me to see a therapist, and today was my first visit. I chose the therapist's name from a list of providers given to me by my insurance company. I did not know anything about her. I can say based on our session today that I am extremely pleased. She is just wonderful. It was a very difficult session for me, having to give ...
Update On New JobJun 25, 2014Hi all in MT land:
I am here just to stop in and say hi. I had posted awhile back about giving my notice and moving onto a new (and better) job. My last day with my MTSO was Friday the 13th. I started my new job June 9th and stayed on to help finish out the pay period. My last day I posted a message on IM about it being my last day and goodbye everyone kind of thing and didn't hear a peep. Not one message. I don't care, it's not like I was expecting anything, but not even one m ...
Another Update On MeMay 18, 2016Well, my legs and ankles are mostly normal now. I think I lost 10-15 pounds and took finally four Torsemide two morning and two in afternoon to do it. I have diastolic heart failure and that plus my low potassium threw me into a bad spell with swelling that would not go down. I do feel some better though.
I still have the hives and now they are really bothering me badly. I went to the drug store and finally got some CVS brand Allegra 180 mg. I found reviews saying it was good for hives since ...
