Must Be Careful

So here is the thing! I'm not going to go on and on about the Cheesehead Pharaoh since he is my boss.

Nuff said.

As was pointed out in a comment and something we here in the Deptment of Health know about is that little thing in the Bill that states.

the Governor has the power to implement changes to the state’s medical assistance programs without going through the legislative process. Changes would only require a “passive review” by the Joint Committee on Finance.

DOA (headed my Walker appointees) said Tuesdays Rally was 10,000 people.  They said Wednesdays rally was ALSO 10,000 people which was odd since it seemed to ME as being AT LEAST two or three times larger. (official estimates were 30,000)

At lunch hour I went out and snap some photos!



 
 The above did not included what I estimated 2000 UW students that came marching
in in a very orderly fashion.  The below REALLY had people getting emotional, it was pretty moving and almost scary!  That line passed for what seemed 10 minutes.  There seemed to be no end!

What I'm finding very interesting is the number of people that are taking this opportunity to teach their children about unions (without unions we would not have weekends, vacation days, sick leave, child labor laws and 40 hour weeks) and how Republicans are trying to take away worker rights while giving all rights to the employers to do whatever they want for any reason (If they do not like blacks they can just fire them).

In other news:

Ricky Weeks signed a 4 year $38.5 million deal.   The cool thing here is how owner Mark Attanasio the owner is really spending some buck.  This could be the richest Brewer team in history!

Tomorrow in 1926 or the 1st time every Billiards and Bowling Alleys were allowed to be open "for a limited time" on Sundays in Wisconsin.  Seems like we 're going back to the good ol' days doesn't it.

    Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e and following) prohibits employers from discriminating against applicants and employees on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, and national origin (including membership in a Native American tribe). It also prohibits employers from retaliating against an applicant or employee who asserts his or her rights under the law.

    OH I see - you were taking everything to the letter - I hope you got my point while you were being somewhat anal.

    "the Governor has the power to implement changes to the state’s medical assistance programs without going through the legislative process. Changes would only require a “passive review” by the Joint Committee on Finance" thanks for publicizing this neglected part of the bill : )

    @test
    and good luck taking your employer to court to fight your discrimination which if it isn't blatent maybe not be proved easily and hope you make lots of money to afford a lawyer, just say'n

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Great photos and you said it in a nutshell what unions have done for us. Under the guise of a budget issue, Walker intends to strip us of our unions.
