Corrupt Government Title: Scott Walker Suspends Union Dues Withholding Story #1: Scott Walker Suspends Union Dues Withholding RUSH: Wisconsin has stopped withholding union dues as of yesterday. This is from Legal Insurrection blog, and then there's also a story here from Forbes.com. "The Legislative Reference Bureau published Gov. Scott Walker’s controversial budget repair bill online Friday," and as the law provides, the governor is taking the position, law is in effect. And they're howling in Wisconsin. "There's a judge that's put a temporary restraining order!" Yeah, well, a federal judge has claimed Obamacare is unconstitutional and he's still implementing it. So Governor Walker has published the bill, and as for now he has stopped withholding union dues, even though there are more court hearings tomorrow. Now, this is interesting, folks. With the law now in effect, paychecks are getting bigger. Union paychecks in Wisconsin are getting bigger because union dues are not being withheld. This means that Democrats have become the party arguing for a reduction in state worker paychecks. Yeah. This is another thing that was absurd anyway, the union forced withholding by the state of union dues. Now they're not. You have to pay them on your own. So if you're a public sector union person you have to write the check to your union your paycheck's bigger and now if you win your paycheck's going to get smaller, all because of your union. The Walker Doctrine in effect, so to speak. From Forbes.com: "In an act of stunning disobedience of a court order, Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin has decided to ignore the temporary restraining order issued by a Wisconsin court and begin enforcement of the controversial Wisconsin union busting law." It's not a union busting law. This is Forbes, what are they doing here? "Speaking for the governor, Secretary of Administration Mike Huebsch – himself a former Republican Speaker of the Assembly, announced – 'It is now my legal responsibility to begin enactment of the law.' Enforcement will take the guise of withholding pension and health benefit contributions from government’s employee paychecks on April 21st. About 10 days ago, a judge [Judge Sumi] in the county court which encompasses the city of Madison, blocked the law from going into effect based on the court’s belief that the State Senate had violated the state’s open-meetings law by failing to give the required 24 hour notice." They didn't. They didn't have to give notice for reasons that we've already explained. At any rate, Governor Walker said the heck with it, so now union dues are no longer being deducted. They are no longer being withheld. Wisconsin Democrat Party Chairman Mike Tate: "Are there any laws that yet bind Scott Walker and the Republicans? With the arrogance of the zealot, they act as if they were laws unto themselves. Ultimately, our Constitution and our courts will protect us from their warped ideologies, but in the meantime, our democracy in Wisconsin is being flayed." Forbes said "This is not the first time Scott Walker has thumbed his nose at a court order. In early March, the Governor locked the public out of his budget speech where he revealed his proposed cuts to the state budget despite a Wisconsin court’s order that he not do so." At any rate, don't you love it when these people are running around acting like stuck pigs, a lawless bunch decrying what they say is lawlessness. Have you noticed how in all the coverage of this, by the way, we've really never heard how much is withheld from workers' paychecks for union dues? Do you think that would be newsworthy? We're finding out that the deduction is no longer being made, union dues are no longer being withheld. I wonder how much it is? Weeks and weeks and weeks of stories about Wisconsin, but we don't know how much union dues are. Even now nobody's telling us. I wonder why. It's obviously a big deal, because it's gonna hurt a lot of people. No matter which side of it that they are on.
