Walker Greeted again with “Union Busting, It’s disgusting,” this time in Chicago.

For a few lines into his prepared speech, Scott Walker thought he was among neatly dressed friends, when all of a sudden a group of protesters stood up and started chanting. Hell, he was in the presence of Democratic Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Oh yeah, Emanuel is also a guy no one in Chicago seems to like very much. 

One interesting thing to mention here; Someone mentioned on Ed Schultz’ radio show that in Scott Walker’s introduction to the public policy group at the Union League Club, the speaker suggested Walker should go to Greece and straighten their economy out too.

Yeah, right. I think I should also mention that the just passed budget is already in deficit, and cuts are already being asked of the UW and other agencies.  Now that’s sound shoestring budgeting.

ChicagoTribune: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, facing a union effort to recall him from office, said today he will use Illinois’ tax increase and continued deficit as a defense for actions that included eliminating most collective bargaining rights for public workers.

The Republican governor, who appeared before about 300 people at a public policy breakfast at Chicago's Union League Club, saw his speech interrupted by union-backed Occupy Chicago protesters for about six minutes before they left the event.

About 50 people who purchased tickets to the breakfast began chanting minutes into Walker’s remarks, reciting slogans such as “Union busting. It’s disgusting.” And “We are the 99 percent.” They also criticized Walker for being allowed free speech rights while blaming Mayor Rahm Emanuel for Chicago police arrests of 300 protesters who refused to leave Grant Park after an 11 p.m. curfew.

After the protesters left, Walker said, "The bottom line is, no matter how loud you shout, the facts are the facts. The facts are that our reforms have worked and continue to work in the state of Wisconsin.”
