Police accuse officials of Blackmail!! Threatened with Huge Hikes in Insurance Costs.

Nothing like a little turmoil to make government run "real" smooth like...

With Scott Walker's "tools" of division, we're now seeing the fruits of his poorly thought out attack on labor, by those that are willing to push the limits of decency.

Hudson Patch: Wisconsin police and firefighters are calling blackmail over the actions of local governments under Gov. Scott Walker’s controversial collective bargaining law. Officials with the state’s biggest police union, the Wisconsin Professional Police Association, told the Associated Press that its members are being threatened with health insurance cost hikes if they don’t pay into their retirement funds—an ultimatum the WPPA said is tantamount to blackmail.

“These employers tell their officers that unless you agree to pay this, we will make health insurance nearly unaffordable for you and your families,” said WPPA executive director Jim Palmer. The WPPA has filed with the state’s Employment Relations Commission, challenging the legality of the budget provision.
