Unions' partners
June 12, 2012 12:00 am
Now that Wisconsin voters have shown the rest of America how the unions have financially raped taxpayers for years, let us be sure to also remember their partners -- the locally elected officials of every borough, township, city and village in the United States who sat on the councils and school boards and voted for and signed whatever the unions wanted and got.
Kudos to those politicians who tried to hold the line but were outnumbered.

Incorrect supposition.

You set up a contract for services, obtain the services, and then you don't pay for the services, and you blame the people who provided the services for the problem.
