It won’t exactly be the Welcome Wagon that greets Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker when he speaks in Springfield Tuesday.
Labor unions are planning a massive protest outside the President Abraham Lincoln Hotel downtown, where Walker is scheduled to speak to the Illinois Chamber of Commerce lobby day event.
The chamber wants to hear about the steps Walker has taken to balance Wisconsin’s budget without raising taxes, but the unions say those steps include deep cuts to education and health care spending, while limiting the collective bargaining rights of public sector workers.
