your right the pension benefits to teachers which they made zero contributions to and receive the average of their 3 highest years for the rest of their lifetime has nothing to do with the budget deficit. Not to mention the amount of baby boom retirees coming in the near future. Coupled with the rising health care costs that most pay zero dollars in premiums. However I am not blaming this entirely on them, our lovely governor doyle should take a lot of the blame for the last 8 yrs of disaster.
If you had your way we would have taken Obama's $800 million for "SLOW RAIL" (yes it would have been slower than a car) from Madison to Milwaukee that would have caused the state more budget deficits in operating profits because no public transportation systems pay for themselves.
In the end our Governor will not back down and this bill will pass. This is why he was elected.
