From Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson:
It’s against the bylaws of the state’s firefighter union for a member to enrich himself at his union brothers’ expense, but the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Dan Bice uncovered just how running has benefitted Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mahlon Mitchell financially and politically.
Now campaign finance reports reveal more about how much Mitchell’s candidacy is being borne on the backs of his fellow firefighters.
…
These firefighter donations are ironic since Mitchell has made opposition to Act 10 a major focal point of his gubernatorial campaign and his campaign for Lt. Governor during the 2012 recall election. When Act 10 passed in 2011, Republicans exempted police and firefighters from the law that ended collective bargaining for public employees for benefits.
