Subject: Collective bargaining effect on locals
Todd- This sounds like another opinion piece by the AP masquerading as news coverage. It is outrageous for you to
continue to pick and choose races until you get the outcome you desire. I'm still waiting for your piece on the clear
message sent to labor unions in the Supreme Court race. Your drive-by opinion journalism is a huge disservice to your
readers, your news organization, and your profession.

Subject: Collective bargaining effect on locals
Chris:
I'm working on a story about how the furor over collective bargaining has reached beyond the state Supreme Court
election and seeped into the undercurrents of hyper-local races across the state. A number of candidates around the
state say the issue came up during their races, most notably Tom Nelson in Outagamie County and Chris Abele in
Milwaukee. They built segments of their campaigns around tying their opponents to the governor.
Wondering if you have any thoughts on the attempts to make collective bargaining and the governor part of these races,
which usually revolve around issues like local taxes, snow plowing, mowing the parks, etc.
I'm planning on moving the story sometime next week.

Subject: RE: Collective bargaining effect on locals
Ultimately local elections are about the candidates and their campaigns.
I also hope you're looking at Jim Schmitt in Green Bay and Jim Ladwig for Racine County Executive. Presumably you
know that Stone and Wall\er got the same percentage in Milwaukee County in their most recent races.
I assume your exhaustive analysis includes all the local races and not just ones you cherry pick to get the story you want.
I put a couple of the races I assume you're looking at in Milwaukee and Green Bay below.

Todd- This sounds like another opinion piece by the AP masquerading as news coverage: It is outrageous for you to
continue to pick and choose races until you get the outcome you desire. I'm still waiting for your piece on the clear
message sent to labor unions in the Supreme Court race. Your drive-by opinion journalism is a huge disservice to your
readers, your news organization, and your profession.

Subject: Collective bargaining effect on locals
Chris:
I'm working on a story about how the furor over collective bargaining has reached beyond the state Supreme Court
election and seeped into the undercurrents of hyper-local races across the state. A number of candidates around the
state say the issue came up during their races, most notably Tom Nelson in Outagamie County and Chris Abele in
Milwaukee. They built segments of their campaigns around tying their opponents to the governor.
Wondering if you have any thoughts on the attempts to make collective bargaining and the governor part of these races,
which usually revolve around issues like local taxes, snow plowing, mowing the parks, etc.
I'm planning on moving the story sometime next week.

Janesville Gazette. Numerous factors contributed to Janesville school budget
If all employees had to pay the retirement and health costs as Gov. Scott Walker has proposed, the
district would save $5.8 million in the comingyear, Janesville School Board President Bill
Sodemann noted Union contracts keep that from happening.
But even before Walker was elected, the Janesville School Board knew teacher pay hikes would haunt
them. The board approved the teachers contract on the narrowest of margins, 5-4, on Sept. 22.
Sodemann predicted at the time that the board would have to cut 80 or more jobs as a result of the
contract. Indeed, the administration was projecting a $10 million deficit before Walker turned
Wisconsin school finances on their head.
The increase in salaries and benefits for all employees next year is $3.86 million. Health insurance is
expected to increase another $2.6 million.

Marshfield News Herald. Wood County to consider ratifying contract
If approved, the contract freezes employee wages for 2011 and requires union members to pay 5.8
percent of their salaries toward the Wisconsin Retirement System, Reed said.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. County seeks deeper concessions
The givebacks include higher health care costs, employee pension contributions of 6% of salary, a pay
freeze and restrictions on overtime pay. They exceed concessions Walker had sought from the union
as county executive, a job he left after his election as governor in November.
The concessions applied to the AFSCME workers will save the county an estimated $13 million through
next year -assuming the state law is implemented by July, according to county figures.
The county would save nearly $1 million a monthfi'om the AFSCME concessions, though that figure
drops to a net of about $300,000 this year because the county agreed to drop 13 unpaid furlough
days that otherwise would have been imposed.
96
The county is also preparing to impose additional concessions on the union made possible by Walker's
law, including raising the retirement age from 60 to 64 and reducing future credit toward pensions
by20%.
Marshfield News Herald. State cuts wmTy city officials
But communities that have union contracts expire after the 2011-12 state budget don't have any of the
tools under Walker's plan to recoup the loss in state revenue, said Mary Jo Carson, mayor of
Wisconsin Rapids.
"It becomes challenging to understand the impact of all of this," Carson said. Wisconsin Rapids public
employees' contracts expire after the July 1 start of the state budget year.
Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter. County highway department lays off 17
MANITOWOC- Seventeen Manitowoc County Highway Department employees will be laid off as
scheduled, after county officials and AFSCME local units could not reach an agreement this week.
Modified terms submitted to the unions for consideration about a week ago included employee
contribution of 5.8 percent to the Wisconsin'\ Retirement System and reimbursement of the
contributions made by the county to employee health insurance coverage.
"What we asked them to agree to is only part of what will happen whenever that law becomes efftctive,"
Ziegelbauer said. "And that could happen tomorrow. We were willing to make a commitment to only
accept part of it for the remainder of the year, so we were very disappointed they didn't see the
opportunity in doing that. "
Green Bay Press Gazette. Green Bay-area municipal employee salaries loom large in face of budget cuts
Gross pay among those workers in seven of the eight largest Green Bay area municipalities outside of
Green Bay has climbed an average 5 percent since 2008, according to a Green Bay Press-Gazette
analysis.
Ashwaubenon's payroll jumped the most in total dollars, from $6.5 million in 2008 to $7 million in
2010.
The addition of personnel in the village's Public Safoty Department after several positions were not
filled in 2008 accounts for much of the surge. That's on top of a public safety budget already
saddled with growing salaries and additional pay escalators resulting in 11 officers earning six
figures.
Rising 21 percent between 2008 and 2010, Hobart's salaries, including overtime, saw the largest
percentage increase.
But overtime and other pay- including back pay, holiday pay, longevity, vacation payouts and pay
for performance on fitness tests- in some cases boost a public service officer's compensation by
nearly 50 percent of their salary.
Union contracts also provide opportunity for overtime. And unlike most public employees, public
safety officers are exempt from Walker's legislation that ends collective bargaining rights.

Labor's last stand? Education reform will come at a cost
Posted: Tuesday, Apri119, 2011 6:02am
Gov. Scott Walker's move to curb collective bargaining for most public workers gives school districts
unprecedented authority to run schools as they see fit, without consulting teachers unions.
But that freedom could come at a price. By shutting unions out of discussions about teacher pay and
performance, districts risk losing a key partner in developing and carrying out education reforms, some say.

STATE OF VVISCONSIN
Thank you for your service to your state and your fellow citizens. I know that you have worked hard during this
economic downturn to ensure that our citizens continue to receive great service, despite our state having fewer
and fewer resources. I, like all Wisconsinites, am grateful for your professionalism and commitment to public
serviCe.
Like almost every state across the nation, our state faces some very serious and undeniable financial
challenges. Over the last three months, I have worked diligently to review the status of our state finances and to
put forward a plan that balances our budget now and will create stability in future budgets.
Many of you are aware of the immediate challenges facing our state. In the current fiscal year which ends on
June 30,2011, we face a budget deficit of$136.7 million. We also owe more than $200 million to the Injured
Patients and Families Compensation Fund. Failure to immediately address this shortfall could result in the state
being unable to pay for health services to thousands of children and families in Wisconsin's BadgerCare
program.
Looking to the future, our challenges are even greater. Over the next two years, the State of Wisconsin faces a
biennial budget deficit of $3.6 billion.
While some of these financial challenges may be attributed to the slowing of our economy, the reality is that
these problems were exacerbated by poor budgeting decisions approved and promoted by past elected leaders,
47
Republicans and Democrats alike. By relying on the use of one-time money, segregated fund raids, and
increases in taxes and fees, past leaders have focused on short term solutions without looking toward the future.
While these decisions may have appeared to be the easiest solution, or the path of least resistance, the bills for
these decisions have come due and the path to long term financial solvency for our state requires shared
sacrifices from everyone.
Today, I am introducing a Budget Repair Bill to address our current fiscal year deficit of $136.7 million. Later
this month, I will introduce my 2011-2013 Biennial Budget proposal to address the pending $3.6 billion deficit.
The Budget Repair Bill will include a number of reform measures focused on bringing government employee
benefits closer to the private sector, including:
Pension Contributions- Currently, state, school district and municipal employees who are members ofthe
Wisconsin Retirement System contribute very little toward their pensions. The bill requires that WRS
employees, including myself and my cabinet officers, as well as employees of the City and County of
Milwaukee, contribute 50 percent of their monthly pension contributions. This amount is estimated to be
5.8 percent of salary for 2011, which is about the national average for private sector employees.
Health Insurance Contributions- Currently, state employees pay approximately 6 percent of armual health
insurance premiums. This bill requires that state employees, again including myself and my cabinet officers,
pay at least 12 percent of monthly premiums, which is still less than half of what the private sector pays. In
addition, the bill directs the Group Insurance Board to implement changes to health insurance plan designs
to further reduce premiums by 5 percent and will implement health risk assessments for all state employees
beginning on January 1, 2012. Local employers participating in the Public Employers Group Health
insurance program operated by the state will be prohibited from paying more than 88 percent of the lowest
cost plan.
Collective Bargaining- Given the above changes, the bill also makes various changes to limit collective
bargaining to the base pay rate. Total increases cannot exceed the Consumer Price Index (CPI) unless
approved by a referendum. Contracts will be limited to one year and wages will be frozen until the new
contract is settled. Collective bargaining units will have to take annual votes to maintain certification as a
union. Employers will be prohibited from collecting union dues and members of collective bargaining imits
will not be required to pay dues. These changes take effect upon the expiration of existing contracts. Local
police and fire employees and State Patrol Troopers and Inspectors are exempted from these changes.
Collectively, these changes will result in savings of approximately $30 million in the remaining few months of
the current fiscal year.
In the days ahead, some may attempt to misrepresent these reform measures, spreading inaccurate or misleading
infommtion. To ensure that you know the facts, I would like to proactively address these issues.
Furloughs - Over the last several years, state employees have been required to take furloughs resulting in an
across the board pay cut of approximately 3 percent. The Budget Repair Bill and my 2011-2013 Biennial
Budget proposal will not include additional furlough days for state employees.
Layoffs- Without the pension and health care reforms described above, saving $30 million over the last three
months of the current fiscal year would require laying-off more than 1,500 state government employees. By
48
implementing these reforms, the provisions contained in both my Budget Repair Bill and my 2011-13 Biennial
Budget proposal are focused on avoiding layoffs for state employees.
Wisconsin's Civil Service System-The Budget Repair Bill and my 2011-2013 Biennial Budget proposal will
not include any provisions to alter or modify the main tenets of Wisconsin's Civil Service System, one ofthe
strongest in the nation. The grievance and dispute resolution systems currently in place, as well as all employee
protections, will remain.
Vacation and Sick Leave Policy- Recent news stories have suggested that I am considering altering the state's
vacation or sick leave policy. The Budget Repair Bill and my 2011-13 Biennial Budget proposal will not
include any provisions to alter or modify state employees' vacation or sick leave policy. In addition, benefits
currently accrued by any state employees will not be altered in any way.
Last week in my State of the State Address, I shared my belief that government employees are among some of
the most honest, hard working, dedicated, professional workers in this state. I sincerely believe that.
We all recognize that these are historic times that require us to rethink how government operates. I ask that we
continue to work together to do what is necessary to bring the state's spending in line with our taxpayers' ability
to pay.
Wisconsin's state employees are second to none in our nation. Our citizens expect great service, and you have
delivered. I know you will continue to deliver top-notch programs for Wisconsin's taxpayers. Thank you again
for your service to our state.
Sincerely,
Governor Scott Walker

Thanks,
GOVERNOR SCOTT WALKER
STATE OF WISCONSIN
Thank you for your service to your state and your fel_low citizens. I know that you have worked hard during this
economic downturn to ensure that our citizens continue to receive great service, despite our state having fewer
and fewer resources. I, like all Wisconsinites, am grateful for your professionalism and commitment to public
service.
Like almost every state across the nation, our state faces some very serious and undeniable financial
challenges. Over the last three months, I have worked diligently to review the status of our state finances and to
put forward a plan that balances our budget now and will create stability in future budgets.
Many of you are aware of the immediate challenges facing our state. In the current fiscal year which ends on
June 30,2011, we face a budget deficit of$136.7 million. We also owe more than $200 million to the Injured
Patients and Families Compensation Fund. Failure to immediately address this shortfall could result in the state
being unable to pay for health services to thousands of children and families in Wisconsin's BadgerCare
program.
Looking to the future, our challenges are even greater. Over the next two years, the State of Wisconsin faces a
biennial budget deficit of $3.6 billion.
While some of these financial challenges may be attributed to the slowing of our economy, the reality is that
these problems were exacerbated by poor budgeting decisions approved and promoted by past elected leaders,
Republicans and Democrats alike. By relying on the use of one-time money, segregated fund raids, and
increases in taxes and fees, past leaders have focused on short term solutions without looking toward the future.
While these decisions may have appeared to be the easiest solution, or the path of least resistance, the bills for
these decisions have come due and the path to long term financial solvency for our state requires shared
sacrifices from everyone.
Today, I am introducing a Budget Repair Bill to address our current fiscal year deficit of $136.7 million. Later
this month, I will introduce my 2011-2013 Biennial Budget proposal to address the pending $3.6 billion deficit.
The Budget Repair Bill will include a number of reform measures focused on bringing government employee
benefits closer to the private sector, including:
Pension Contributions- Currently, state, school district and municipal employees who are members of the
Wisconsin Retirement System contribute very little toward their pensions. The bill requires that WRS
55
employees, including myself and my cabinet officers, as well as employees of the City and County of
Milwaukee, contribute 50 percent of their monthly pension contributions. This amount is estimated to be
5.8 percent of salary for 2011, which is about the national average for private sector employees.
Health Insurance Contributions- Currently, state employees pay approximately 6 percent of annual health
insurance premiums. This bill requires that state employees, again including myself and my cabinet officers,
pay at least 12 percent of monthly premiums, which is still less than half of what the private sector pays. In
addition, the bill directs the Group Insurance Board to implement changes to health insurance plan designs
to further reduce premiums by 5 percent and will implement health risk assessments for all state employees
beginning on January 1, 2012. Local employers participating in the Public Employers Group Health
insurance program operated by the state will be prohibited from paying more than 88 percent of the lowest
cost plan.
Collective Bargaining- Given the above changes, the bill also makes various changes to limit collective
bargaining to the base pay rate. Total increases cannot exceed the Consumer Price Index (CPI) unless
approved by a referendum. Contracts will be limited to one year and wages will be frozen until the new
contract is settled. Collective bargaining units will have to take annual votes to maintain certification as a
union. Employers will be prohibited from collecting union dues and members of collective bargaining units
will not be required to pay dues. These changes take effect upon the expiration of existing contracts. Local
police and fire employees and State Patrol Troopers and Inspectors are exempted from these changes.
Collectively, these changes will result in savings of approximately $30 million in the remaining few months of
the current fiscal year.
In the days ahead, some may attempt to misrepresent these reform measures, spreading inaccurate or misleading
information. To ensure that you know the facts, I would like to proactively address these issues.
Furloughs - Over the last several years, state employees have been required to take furloughs resulting in an
across the board pay cut of approximately 3 percent. The Budget Repair Bill and my 2011-2013 Biennial
Budget proposal will not include additional furlough days for state employees.
Layoffs- Without the pension and health care reforms described above, saving $30 million over the last tluee
months ofthe current fiscal year would require laying-off more than 1,500 state goverrnnent employees. By
implementing these reforms, the provisions contained in both my Budget Repair Bill and my 2011-13 Biennial
Budget proposal are focused on avoiding layoffs for state employees.
Wisconsin's Civil Service System-The Budget Repair Bill and my 2011-2013 Biennial Budget proposal will
not include any provisions to alter or modify the main tenets of Wisconsin's Civil Service System, one of the
strongest in the nation. The grievance and dispute resolution systems currently in place, as well as all employee
protections, will remain.
Vacation and Sick Leave Policy- Recent news stories have suggested that I am considering altering the state's
vacation or sick leave policy. The Budget Repair Bill and my 2011-13 Biennial Budget proposal will not
include any provisions to alter or modify state employees' vacation or sick leave policy. In addition, benefits
currently accrued by any state employees will not be altered in any way.
Last week in my State of the State Address, I shared my belief that goverrnnent employees are among some of
the most honest, hard working, dedicated, professional" workers in this state. I sincerely believe that.
56
We all recognize that these are historic times that require us to rethink how goverrunent operates. I ask that we
continue to work together to do what is necessary to bring the state's spending in line with our taxpayers' ability
to pay.
Wisconsin's state employees are second to none in our nation. Our citizens expect great service, and you have

for your service to our state.

Subject: AP says the the votes to pass the Senate.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The president of the Wisconsin state Senate says there are enough votes among Republicans
to pass Gov; Scott Walker's plan to end collective bargaining rights for nearly all public employees.
Senate President Mike Ellis of Neenah told The Associated Press on Tuesday that there are the 17 votes needed in the
19-member Republican caucus to pass Walker's proposal.
Ellis says senators are worried that not passing the plan would lead to thousands of layoffs.
His proposal has deeply divided the state, with thousands of union members expected to converge on the Capitol
Tuesday for the public hearing on the measure.
Ellis says he would have preferred to vote on a different version of the bill, but as it stands now Walker has the votes
to get what he wants.

Subject: AP says the the votes to pass the Senate.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) --The president of the Wisconsin state Senate says there are enough votes among Republicans
to pass Gov. Scott Walker's plan to end collective bargaining rights for nearly all public employees.
Senate President Mike Ellis of Neenah told The Associated Press on Tuesday that there are the 17 votes needed in the
19-member Republican caucus to pass Walker's proposal.
Ellis says senators are worried that not passing the plan would lead to thousands of layoffs.
His proposal has deeply divided the state, with thousands of union members expected to converge on the Capitol
Tuesday for the public hearing on the measure.
Ellis says he would have preferred to vote on a different version of the bill, but as it stands now Walker has the votes
to get what he wants.

State giving back stimulus funds intended for broadband expansion
Money was intended to expand high-speed Internet access
By Rick Barrett of the Journal Sentinel Feb. 15, 2011[(84) Comments State officials are returning $23 million to the
federal government, saying there were too many strings attached to stimulus money that was supposed to be for
expanding high-speed Internet service in schools, libraries and government agencies. The money was to have boosted
broadband connections in 380 Wisconsin communities, including 385 libraries and 82 schools. It also could have been
used to improve police, fire department and hospital communications in rural areas.

State workers willing to bend on concessions, not bargaining rights
By Patrick Marley of the Journal Sentinel Feb. 14, 2011 [(1049) Comments
Madison -State workers signaled Monday they could accept benefit cuts proposed by Gov. Scott Walker even as they
prepared to battle with Walker over his plan to cut most of their union bargaining rights. Republicans who control the
Legislature have put Walker's budget repair bill on a fast track, with a public hearing Tuesday and possible action by one
or both houses as early as Thursday. The budget-writing Joint Finance Committee is scheduled to vote on the bill after
Tuesday's daylong hearing.

Budget repair bill impact on education
Teachers unions plan more protests
Updated: Monday, 14 Feb 2011, 6:05 PM CST
Published :Monday, 14 Feb 2011, 5:45 PM CST
Reporter: Ben Krumholz
GREEN BAY- Union leaders in Northeast Wisconsin spent part of Monday letting their members know how they should feel about
Governor Scott Walker's budget repair bill proposal. Some unions, including teachers unions, also started organizing protests.
"As educators, as teachers, we're not against looking at ways to help to solve this fiscal problem that we have," said Toni Lardinois, the
president of the Green Bay Education Association. "What we are saying is don't take away our right to have a say so in what our work
environment is."
Don't expect everyone in an education union to be involved with protests. Retired teacher, Patricia Roch of Neenah says she will sit out
any protest.
"Finally somebody is taking fiscal responsibility in this state," said Roch.
Roch realizes W a / k e ~ s plans will likely affect her benefits, but she is all for cutting spending.
"/ can see how my union is trying to stand up for its teachers but there just comes a time when there is a line in the sand and you have
to say what's best for the state and what can I do," said Roch.
"It's so much larger than what he has given the public the opportunity to realize," said Lardinois.
Lardinois says stripping away collective bargaining rights has received the most publicity in Walkers repair bill. But she wants people to
realize it will also take away teachers' ability to negotiate for tools and teaching methods that are necessary for their classrooms .
. Governor Walker says the bill will actually benefit students.
"It will insure more of those dollars that go to local governments, in particular that go to school districts from the state government and
from the local taxpayer actually go into the classroom and they won't be eaten up through larger benefits," said Walker.
And while teachers say they will continue to protest to make their voice heard, Roch says she has a message for both sides.
"People really need to look at this with an open mind. Not just what's good for them, but what is good for Wisconsin," said Roch.
Bay Lakes United Educators says it will protest at Northeast Wisconsin Technical College on Tuesday during a visit from Lieutenant
Governor Rebecca Kleefisch.
The Green Bay Education Association says it will hold a protest at the Brown County Courthouse on Wednesday afternoon at 4 p.m.
The Senate could vote on the bill as early as Thursday.

Hi Cullen,
I did file the piece about Gov. Walker, and then the editors were holding it off, and now I see that news has overtaken
some of what I've written. So I'm just doing a quick update (and hopefully it will run soon!), but there was one point I
need clarified: do the new restrictions Gov. Walker is calling for on collective bargaining entail overturning that 19711aw
or is that not necessary? Thanks!
Best,
Katrina Trinko
