But wait...there's more.

I received a really sweet e-mail today with some updates regarding the State budget issues. Ready?

Might I remind you, that if this passes, it will set the course for the 2011-2013 budget which is scheduled to be released March 1st.

Included as a result of this budget are:

• Loss of State aid to municipalities
• Privatized government services
• $900 million in cuts to public K-12 schools
• Cuts to UW schools, which will result in a 26% tuition increase
• Loss of $46 million in federal funds for public transit services. The Federal government requires public transit workers have collective bargaining rights in order to receive funds.
• The State will raid $28 million from Employee Trust Funds to pay for pension and health insurance until 2013. As of 2013, the State will no longer pay anything for health insurance, saving Wisconsin about $1500 per person per month.

Again....just volunteering some information. I think it's important for people to be educated before they start throwing daggers back and forth. If it turns out this way, people in the private sector will be affected just as much (unless of course, you don't use public services, such as schools/universities, public transit, and other services currently provided by the government).
