Walker Serves Big Business Again, Signs Away Sick Leave Mandate for Milwaukee Workers. Employee Entitlements Tantamount to Welfare?

Just who is the governor representing, and how many more times do we have to ask this before it sinks in?
WR: Governor Scott Walker signed Senate Bill 23 which relates to the preemption of local
ordinances requiring leave for family, medical or health issues.
 
“This law removes another barrier in the road to creating 250,000 private sector jobs by 2015,” Governor Walker said. 
“Patchwork government mandates stifle job creation and economic opportunity.
Walker's preoccupation and maddening dislike for "mandates" should be troubling for voters. It puts ideology in charge of what's best for the people and state. Watch why he said he did away with recycling, an issue he had to backtrack on recently, and his closing line, "For us it was really just about the mandate, and not the issue itself." Amazing stuff from Upfront with Mike Gousha!
