MADISON, Wis. -- Local government officials from across Wisconsin are publicly registering their opposition to Republican Gov. Scott Walker's plan to cut most collective bargaining for nearly all state employees.

More than 200 mayors, school board presidents and other local officials held a news conference at the Capitol Wednesday to voice their objections to Walker's budget repair bill. The group, representing at least 20 cities, 41 towns and 22 counties, has sent a letter to the governor asking him to restore collective bargaining to his bill. The officials say the proposal harms their ability to find common ground with municipal and county employees when crafting budgets.

Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz said they won't compromise on their request.

3. True. Walker sees himself as the GOP Warrior to replace Reagan
in their Pantheon of Super Heros.

His super power is to be hot air.

I've been told Scott also admires Maggie Thatcher and to honor her wants his costume to have fishnet hosiery instead of tights.

5. Walker is in office because of Koch brothers money, now
he is doing their bidding. Get the bushel basket off your head and look around. Listen to the tape of the conversations between them. It's all over the internet, in all the newspapers and on t.v.
