Governor Walker's Insane Budget Cut Proposal!

As the protests in Wisconsin continue into their third week, with thousands holding strong in the capitol of Madison, a huge showering of support for the economic rights of union members and the restoration of a strong middle class. From what I hear, it looks as though many of the merchants in that state are now fully in support of the strikers: Un-employed or under-employed workers are not good candidates for the wares of these 'former' employees, so the businessmen in Walker's state will not be able to afford the goods of these merchants. No one will be watching Gov. Scott Walker's budget address this afternoon closer than the teachers and administrators in Wisconsin's 425 school districts. Walker has said his budget will include more than $1 billion in funding cuts to schools and local governments. Schools must deal with the cuts first, and across Wisconsin administrators, school boards and teachers' unions are preparing for the fallout: Here's a roundup from the morning papers around Wisconsin: In Appleton, teachers are pushing for a contract agreement before the budget is passed. Aswaubenon schools have sent initial layoff notices to 13 teachers. In the Kiel school district, initial layoff notices have been sent to all 114 of its teachers. Get ready for a substantial rise in our illiteracy rate until this crisis has been averted!
