Shoot Wisconsin voters themselves in the foot?


The trials and tribulations of the Badger State continues to grow, as the chances for an economic recovery has become unlikely. A shift of power politics was due to the November elections. The promise was to lift Wisconsin debt-free, non-personal tax increase and it attractive place for companies; but this has become a disaster. The fallout from this situation should the taxpayers of the State for years are injured.

The new Government in Madison faced a multi billon dollar deficit. It lasted from steps to the short-term problem of gaining new business in the State and the existing companies, by you to set the they tax incentives. At the same time was the long-term public employee salaries, benefits and pensions also deal. Because Wisconsin has one of the most lucrative teacher compensation packages of the country, is, where the legislature began.

Wisconsin was soon national news because it's 2012 seen as a battleground state in the elections and trade unions see challenged their power in the public sector and reduced their political influence. Trade unions have already in the private sector, with less than 7% of workers belong to these organizations been marginalized.

Trade unions, to demonstrate to private and public, people in the capital and to disrupt the legislation process, while state senators fled from the minority party to Illinois to avoid vote on what they believed controversies laws for mercy. You back to their jobs after the Bill has been adapted and passed. But a judge ruled against the new law and it is held as the legislation makes its way through the legal system of the State.

Out of fear that the legislation ultimately by the State Supreme Court, 4: 3-majority that can sustain the legislation, currently governed firmly is mounted trade unions seek to displace an incumbent judge, and change the balance which makes. This was accompanied by a national elections beginning April. Was there a record turnout, but only a narrow margin separated the two candidates. The following is a recount. At the same time, 16 are state senators from both parties recall elections faced. There is no suggestion of stability in the State, which is not encouraging for the business or the residents.

Activists feel triumphant, although some may not realize that future only sabotaged their efforts of the State. This may not bother the trade unions, because they have kept the anti-Government union sentiment spread. Even though Ohio has passed only stricter legislation, Wisconsin remained at the top of the news.

If Illinois control triggered this Wisconsin asked to claim that it was the business friendly State. With the trade unions, new-found makes shows, this concept will fade, and companies can consider as better places to build Indiana, Ohio and others to rent plants and workers. As the trade unions have won the battle, but also the war in Wisconsin losing. Than moving companies in other parts of the country, the people of the State have little happy cheese apart from the fact that to be the home of this year's Super Bowl winner.
