	<description>The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger).  The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.</description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://norunnyeggs.com/2011/11/seiu-siphons-medicaid-funds-from-recipients-in-michigan/comment-page-1/#comment-39771&quot;&gt;Alex&lt;/a&gt;.

On the Michigan side, it was all former governor Jennifer Granholm (D-Canada), who never thought that a majority of Michigan voters would object to becoming South Canada.

On the Wisconsin side, the DPW thought that the 2006/2008 elections were a mandate from Hades itself (look at Healthy and Depopulated Wisconsin, proposed by the Senate Democrats in 2007 when they didn&#039;t even have the Assembly).  I don&#039;t know precisely what constituted a &quot;independent home care worker&quot; in the FY2010-FY2011 budget (the hotel wifi choked on sending me the PDF version of 2009 Act 28, which the Dems used as the vehicle to introduce unionization of said workers) or the not-quite-ratified contract (the ratifying bill, AB995, only referenced the existence of the contract, and the attached fiscal estimate only noted an annual net additional cost of $622,000 due mostly to a new $9/hr minimum wage).

One thing I didn&#039;t mention yesterday was that, up until governor Scott Walker and the Republican Legislature got Act 10 implemented, Wisconsin would have automatically deducted the union dues from whoever it considered &quot;covered public employees&quot;, just like Michigan.]]></description>
