rotest or Reform: Coming to a Statehouse Near You

The protests currently taking place at the statehouses in Madison, Wisconsin, and Columbus, Ohio, may soon be coming to a state near you, as state governors and legislators realize they can no longer continue business as usual. I simply don’t understand what makes public employees think they should be totally exempt from the hardships and requirements that many private sector workers have been experiencing for years. Those in the private sector have routinely been required to pay a substantial portion of the costs of their medical insurance and have seen those costs increasing significantly, year after year.
