Protests In Wisconsin

[ZZ-kai-]

Color it how you want, the Union isn't being busted. Is it being close to mortally wounded, yes, and I fully support that. All 175,000 state employees can terminate their contract, re-apply/re-hire and negotiate all of their own salaries, PTO, raises/bonuses...etc. for all I care. Actually, I'd prefer that.

Remember one of those guys who punked out for IL, State Rep Gordon Hintz, you know, this guy:

Well, he's a sleeze-ball. Only a matter of time before he's shown the door.

State Rep. Gordon Hintz was issued a municipal citation in Appleton earlier this month for violation of a city sexual misconduct ordinance.

Appleton police issued the citation Feb. 10 in conjunction with an ongoing investigation of Heavenly Touch Massage Parlor, , 342 W. Wisconsin Ave., in Appleton.


Police searched the business and a nearby residence Jan. 31, after ivestigators had staked out the properties for several days after receiving a tip.


The raid netted six arrests, and police seized a vehicle and assets associated with the enterprise.


No additional details about the incident were available Monday morning.


The ordinance under which Hintz, 37, was charged prohibits paying or receiving “a fee, directly or indirectly, or to offer or ask for anything of value, for touching or offering to touch the sexual parts of another.”


Hintz was not immediately available for comment.


According to online court records, Hintz posted a $2,667.50 bond.


He is scheduled to appear before an Outagamie County court commissioner on April 27.


The Northwestern will update this story as more information becomes available.

It would appear you're the one doing the coloring - the difference between "busted" and "mortally wounded" is laughably inconsequential, and the fact that it isn't applied to all government employees equally is also pretty piss poor.

Want to run the government more like a business? Fine. That means winning battles with unions in the boardroom, and not on the floor of the legislature. Small government indeed.

You know he's in the Assembly, right? And that it's the Senators who are in IL? And I'm assuming you understand the difference?

So, what are you talking about when you say he "punked out for IL"?
