What the Wisconsin bill is really about

I can only surmise that Mr. Krauthammer in his defense of Gov. Walker missed the phone call that he accepted from the man that he thought was a Koch brother. I did not. I listened to the entire phone call. Several times. I believe that Gov. Walker really does not care about union busting. He really only cares about what the Koch brothers need to add to their already burgeoning kingdom in Wisconsin.

Did Mr. Krauthammer miss the almost unnoticed clause in Walker’s union busting bill policy that would allow the sale of publicly owned utility plants in Wisconsin to private parties at any price, no matter how low, without a public bidding process. Take a good guess at who would benefit from this clause, Mr. Krauthammer

That phone call seems to point out that the Kochs are driving the bill to eliminate the collective bargaining power of unions in a bid to gain a monopoly over the state’s power supplies. It is very disheartening to see how easily corporate money can buy our government.
