Earlier we wrote about the recall election in Wisconsin tomorrow: the governor, four senators, and the lieutenant governor. We hope Republican Governor Scott Walker can keep his office, he's done amazing things in rolling back the power of public employee unions. The other outcomes are important too, if less so.
It is our view that public employee unions should not have the right to make political donations to those who decide how much they will be paid, effectively bribing their bosses in the legislature and governor's office. Those bosses then bribe their employees in turn with higher wages and benefits, paid for with our taxes.
Go here to read a RealClearPolitics article about the races and what is at stake. An even better list of what is at stake is Chris Cillizza's piece in The Washington Post, a column that is amazingly balanced for Cillizza, who normally leans left.
