Today is the day that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker comes to Springfield to lay out his philosophy on getting a state budget under control, and that union members rally in protest outside Walker’s appearance downtown.
Walker was invited by the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce, which says Illinois politicians need to hear about Walker’s approach to cutting spending without raising taxes.
But the union workers say Walker’s approach has devastated education and other vital services in Wisconsin, while at the same time taking away collective bargaining rights from public sector employees.
