The Wisconsin layoffs of teachers and other education workers who have be protesting for the last week or so should have come down yesterday. Since the Democrat representatives who should have been there to pass the spending cuts bill had fled to another state, and were camping out in order to not allow a vote, Governor Walker really had no choice but to begin laying off staff in order to cover the shortfall. He really had no choice. but if you ask me, he has already been much too tolerant of the protests and violence, both verbal and physical abuse which people have been subjected to over the course of these protests. And now, their time has run out, and the result of the Democrats fleeing the state, the results were far worse for the staff effected. In the end, its the teachers who will suffer, not the lawmakers. And isn't that typical?
