Default wi. powergrab

First off I do work at a union mill in Wi. The first thing that is troubling is the fact that the three public union employee groups that are NOT targeted backed Gov. Walker in the election. These people are both union and public employees yet they were not asked to help their state in this supposed grim time of need with the debt. I believe the public employees should pay a share in their insurance, I pay about 15% On the other hand if the Gov. wants them to help with their "pension" , why not change to a 401k? That way the employee contributes the majority, and the state does a small match. Say .50 to 1.00 per dollar invested on the first 6% or so. Just my two cents. Lastly I am glad I only have 2 to 3 more yrs. to work. I think this will result in a bigger mess then we have now. Steve
