Employee Trust Fund

I read that Walker took 28 million out of this fund but little has been said about it. Has he done this?

Here's the link to Uppity Wisconsin's post on it.

Here's the link to Rep. Peter Barca's press release confirming it was in the Budget Despair Bill passed on Election Day.

This is what I found with a quick search. There's probably something out there from the LRB summarizing the bill so you can confirm it.



FYI, this all happened just one day after northern and central Wisconsin Republicon legies all showed up for a forum in Medford and swore up and down they were going to pass a constitutional amendment banning raids on segregated funds.

So then they go to Madison and vote to raid a segregated fund the next day.

Clearly, when a Republicon's lips are moving, lies are being spilled.

It should be on the front page.

the TPers retort with "Doyle STOLED money from the Transportation Trust fund!!! He was a crook!"*

Now that Walker did even WORSE by taking retirement monies, I'm going to blast these jerks....about defending THEIR JERK!

*Note the use of the classic republican technique...wrap as many lies as you can in one sentence and then accuse you of "waffling" when you try to dissemble them...

his/her lips are moving. :kick:
