Which is why Walker sued and won, to have the GAB do it for him, and why there is this nice video feed of them doing exactly that right now - checking hundreds of thousands of signatures, entering them into a data base, cross checking with address and voter registration rolls - and why the petitions are posted on the internet, too, after they have been checked.

Keep up, will you? You have to know what's going on, before you can b.itch about it. You're complaining they can't do something they are actually doing right now . Which is pretty funny.

I’d call them union lackeys sent in from Chi-town. And as a moth can’t resist a flame, college students can’t resist a protest and thus they serve a purpose as extras in a Michael Moore flick do.

During the late 1800’s and into the Great Depression unions represented their workers and had their best interests in mind. That all changed when Curly Humphreys walked into Al Capone’s office for a meeting with Red Barker and Lefty Lynch to plan the takeover over the Teamsters Joint Council in Chicago. Installing one Libby Libonati initially as an IL State Legislator and later as a US congressman provided a foot in the door politically. Thirty years before Joe Kennedy and his prodigal son would be called into the game.

Incidentally in 1931 the Chicago outfit was reportedly ‘earning’ $50 million a year off unions and they hadn’t even yet become national. With the passage of the twenty-first amendment, in 1933 effectively putting bootleggers out of business, the gangsters were forced to search for new revenue streams. Taking over unions nationally was determined to be their business plan. BTW (By passing the amendment repealing prohibition, the government reportedly reaped $300 million a year in alcohol taxes. One can only imagine the potential taxes the government could collect today taxing marijuana? The government’s lack of desire to do so coupled with their storied past hopefully isn’t a sign of yet more backdoor deal making.)

When ‘Dirty Harry’ Truman was elected President, the outfit connected unions hit the lotto. His ascent to power back in Kansas City was poluted with backroom mob deals and underworld relationships with people like gangster John Lazia and crooked Democratic boss Tom Pendergast. His greatest accomplishment as President, the building of the National Highway System was also dirty. With the road workers’ unions and their employers owned and or controlled by the outfit an automatic ten percent graft (overcharge) was included in the bids and paid for by the taxpayer. Also much to Truman’s discredit, Chicago crime boss Paul ‘The Waiter’ Ricca was somehow paroled after being transferred to Leavenworth (Atlanta was just to tough, both as a prison and a travel destination) to be with his compatriots and where Joe Bats (Accardo) and Camel Humphreys were able to visit with him.

Spring ahead in time to only a couple of years ago when the IL Teacher Union’s pension fund was the focus of criminal charges being filed against the likes of one Stuart Levine, close friend and confident with former Dem Governor Blago. Levine was indicted for shaking down potential IL Teachers’ pension fund managers. He has since whacked himself, Blago is headed for club Fed for twelve years and in a life’s not fair example, the man who turned everyone in, who refused to be shaken down, Washington D.C.’s J.E. Roberts, unfortunately passed away of cancer, way too young. Predictably his company JER was not given control of the fund.

Several years before that, a road construction/asphalt company, with motto’s painted on their trucks like ‘donta push’ and ‘the earth moves with’ and for all practical purposes the lone installer of Northern IL highways, was found guilty of (you guessed it) over billing for materials, hours and even installing a concrete lake, at the home of one of the owners, using State paid-for concrete and labor. Several company officers/owners went to prison however their bright orange trucks, with newly installed sheets of plywood painted with a new company name, continued being the sole provider of public road construction without disruption. No wonder IL finds itself in such financial trouble.

The People of WI, as a whole, realize the Governor’s initiatives of making public union workers equal to their private counterparts, is fair. Additionally the people think pitching in for one’s retirement and healthcare is an individual responsibility not a village one. Similar to why Wisconsinites prefer raising their own children as opposed to the State and why as a State they’re against Obamacare.

Though cold in the winter, Wisconsin is fantastic despite being the home of the Green Bay Packers. Guess you can take a man out of IL but not the Chicago Bears from his heart. Go Giants and Baltimore. Or at least cover. And keep up the good work governor!
