At the end of the day the government can do pretty much anything it wants. Did you hear about Act 10 in Wisconsin? What a disaster for the teachers there, I feel really sorry for them.
Everyone in the state heard about Act 10! It was government chaos here for a while. Democrat congresspeople left the state to avoid being called to vote on it.
I don't know what to think about it. Around that time, a couple of our neighboring states (IL and MI) were in the process of going broke.

Act 10 has undoubtedly saved the tax payers money, but I feel for anyone that loses a big chunk of their income to a pay cut.
Wow all that chaos to save only $1 billion per year. They screwed over the entire public sector and all the teachers just to save that much. It's going to put your education system into chaos. $1 billion per year is not a lot of money in the grand scheme of things for a state government.
There has got to be a better way to handle these things.
