Walker Receives Endorsement of Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel

As a resident of the state of California, I have witnessed and endured the choke-hold that public sector unions can have on state legislators.

In California, schools are suffering with fewer funds, public safety is losing staff, public works sit idle and neglected, and cities have no power to authorize pay reductions, pension reform, or benefit cuts.My state legislature cannot pass a responsible budget, for the majority refuse to make decisions in the best interests of the state which will harm the interests of public sector unions.

 Public sector unions have bled the Golden State dry.

 In Wisconsin, hope has emerged. Governor Walker curbed the collective bargaining rights of public employees, an expensive entitlement which frustrated balanced budgeting.

 I hope that his brave example will spur more governors, including mine, to stand up to the public employees, curb their powers, and restore fiscal restraint to statehouses across the country.

Thank you, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, for supporting your state’s governor. There is no justification for removing a sitting executive who has initiated reforms which have saved Wisconsinites money, jobs, and core services without raising taxes or siphoning away tax payer dollars on unjustified and limited disbursements.
