I believe that it had been tried in the past and quickly shot down by the County. Even if the study proves that these bennies would be viable, there would still be a need for a collateral agreement to add it to the contract.<br /><br />On the other hand, if the unions suggested it, there would probably have to be a study done to determine the amount and have the unions concede something if they wanted this benefit to become reality.capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751967312821403092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-1483645630466907962009-11-18T13:17:31.613-06:002009-11-18T13:17:31.613-06:00capper...I was told the county employees can put t...capper...I was told the county employees can put the domestic partner benefits into their union contracts.

That kind of argument will not win anyone over and only diminishes the memory of those that had been murdered by Hitler's hand.capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08751967312821403092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-33682077083039877762009-11-17T22:12:55.003-06:002009-11-17T22:12:55.003-06:00Only 2 years, 4 months, and 17 days to go...Only 2 years, 4 months, and 17 days to go...NealBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-63309975521757517322009-11-17T13:50:55.904-06:002009-11-17T13:50:55.904-06:00As I viewed the wide scope of vetoes by Walker on ...As I viewed the wide scope of vetoes by Walker on the county budget I couldn't help but be reminded of a sinister page out of our worlds history. The actions by Walker and his budget are eerily similar to actions by Adolph Hitler and his Third Reich. Before people get outraged by the comparison lets carefully examine the facts; 1) Walker has declared a genocide against county workers by trying to eliminate as many as possible, 2) Walker is trying to eliminate all help for the mentally ill and disabled just like Hitler did against the gypsies and mentally ill in Germany, 3) Walker has his own version of the dreaded SS,(CRG-citizens for responsible government) who have launched a media campaign against any County Supervisor who supports the boards budget and is threatening to recall them, 4)Walker has his own propaganda minister in Steve Schultze and the Journal Sentinel who will not publish any negative press against him regardless of the truth, 5)Walker has continually attacked programs for minority based central city residents in favor of his uber-white suburban backers.<br /> The parallels between Walker's regime and the Nazi regime are uncanny. It is inconceivable that in this day and age an extreme right wing politician like Walker can rise to power and then even be considered for a much higher office. County Board Chairman, Lee Holloway, was criticized for calling Walker a David Duke styled politician. The sad reality is that Chairman Holloway didn't go far enough. All one needs to do is look at all of the comparisons mentioned. If an extremist, elitist like Walker becomes our next governor God help us all!Kurt Z.noreply@blogger.com
