Troopers would ‘absolutely’ use force on Wisc. protesters if ordered, police union president tells Raw

He said, they would all still don riot gear and "do their job," even if Walker's order were to suppress the protests.

...

Last night my wife asked me to make a sign for her to take down there to protest. On that day, I thought to myself I could be making a protest sign for my wife to take down there ... Then I could be down there confronting my wife with the protest sign that I made.

...

He said that the conversation of resisting an order to attack the protesters "hasn't even come up" between he and fellow officers.

The small print in Governor W's "crush the unions" bill? A huge giveaway of state assets to his corporate backers

16.896 Sale or contractual operation of state-owned heating, cooling, and power plants. (1) Notwithstanding ss. 13.48 (14) (am) and 16.705 (1), the department may sell any state-owned heating, cooling, and power plant or may contract with a private entity for the operation of any such plant, with or without solicitation of bids, for any amount that the department determines to be in the best interest of the state. Notwithstanding ss. 196.49 and 196.80, no approval or certification of the public service commission is necessary for a public utility to purchase, or contract for the operation of, such a plant, and any such purchase is considered to be in the public interest and to comply with the criteria for certification of a project under s. 196.49 (3) (b).

Soon Timm. Soon.

Meanwhile, the National Guard has toured at least one state prison - presumably in preparation for taking over if needed - as thousands of correctional officers, teachers and other public workers continued Monday to protest at the Capitol to stop a budget-repair bill that would take away most of their union rights.

If the protest isn't violent I don't see a need for the guard to take action. But taking posts in case shit pops off is a good idea i think

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has been lured into a conversation about his strategy to cripple public employee unions by a prank caller pretending to be a billionaire Republican donor.
Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie confirms the governor is on audio of the call posted Wednesday on the website of the Buffalo Beast, a left-leaning New York newspaper.
The governor believes the caller is conservative businessman David Koch. He talks about plans for layoff notices and what can be done to punish lawmakers who've left the state.
The caller suggests Walker take a baseball bat when meeting with Democrats. Walker jokes he has "a slugger with my name on it."
Brothers David and Charles Koch have given millions to support Americans For Prosperity, which has launched a $320,000 ad campaign supporting Walker.

Pt 1 of the call:

Then you should join a union. The hand that is extended by the union is to pull you up not for you to pull others down.

The rising tide of unionism that came with industrialization in this country is what lifted so many people up and formed the middle class. You're seeing the middle class dissolve as a consequence of unions being weakened and dissolved.

As those around you are lifted up so then too will you be lifted.
