"A UNION'S BLATANT LIE

A WEAC affiliate posted a faked news article claiming that Scott Walker was planning to use state retirement funds to balance the budget. The story, which was faked to look like a JS story has been widely cicrulating among state union employees.

Several obvious points:

1. Reporter Lee Bergquist never wrote this story; it was never posted or publoshed.

2. Walker didn't name Scott Jensen to this position.

3. There is no Walker aide named Tim Jackson.

4. Jensen did NOT appear on my show or say the things attributed to him.

Total fraud.

Exit question: why did anyone think they could get away with this?

Here is the post from the Rice Lake chapter of WEAC:

Governor Scott Walker’s choice of the former State Assembly Speaker has caused concerns about the future of the State Pension Fund. Jensen a long time advocate for using of the fund to balance the state budget has raised the concerns of several public employee unions. Jensen assured police and fire officials that their pensions are safe under Governor Walker but that public employees and teachers who never put their lives on the line nor contributed to the fund ought to be worried. “Those folks need to take a long hard look in the mirror and reflect on what they have taken away from the people of Wisconsin.”"

You can read the whole lie at the above link.

You know, if you think about it. It's totally false but it may be a good idea to save the states budget deficit. The unions make something up to bash the right and they us a GREAT idea to cut spending.

If the Rice Lake WEAC believes this, maybe cut teachers pensions first.
Thanks Unions!
