Decoy Story

C'mon people. They had everyone talking about the "One Wisconsin" wording and now everyone is being smug for winning the push back. No one has their eye on the ball. IT'S A FREAKING DECOY. I think the whole debacle was intentionally executed to keep attention from THE REAL STORY: the 150M/yr in cuts from the already tight budget of an organization that no longer has reserves.

This seems especially brutal since most employees about undergo lay off just got a $4000 compensation cut just a few years ago. It is my understanding that prior to the cuts our UW System employees were already compensated lower than their peers from other states.

I worry about how much damage this will do to our UW System and, by extension, the state.

Totally irrelevant, but ironic. This from a guy who didn't graduate from college.
