Pro-tax group gets straight cash homey from Big Labor
By GarrettQuinn on Mon, 10/13/2008 - 6:21pm
Worth noting that the people opposing Question One are backed almost entirely by Big Government Unions.
The MTA and SEIU gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to the pro-tax movement.
No one should be shocked that government employee unions are fighting Question One to the death. If it passes they will lose their superhuman benefits and government perks that no one except the CEOs of AIG get.

My guess would be that
My guess would be that because they are so flush with cash from the unions they aren't really going after the individuals.
That also doesn't mean that they aren't representing the will of the people mind you.
Whoa!
Wait...so the people who would be affected the most by a proposed piece of legislation are working hard to defeat it? Crazy, man! What do they think this is, some sort of representative democracy or something? And what's with this unionization thing? You'd think they were trying to bargain collectively for their own good. Way to snoop it out!
