Mark Belling, WISN out of Milwaukee, talked about this on Monday's show in the 3:00 hour. He dubbed Gillett's mayor and city council "worst in Wisconsin".

The story is currently listed under his Hot Links section of belling.com.

Belling pointed out that Walker is making the move over employee contributions to give local governments the money to put towards budget deficits when he cuts state aid in the next state budget. Thanks to Gillett's bright mayor and city council the city will either have to cut or raise taxes. Smart move!
