Calling the Gov's bluff was one of the most phenomenal displays of dumbassery I've seen in my lifetime, and I am glad he's nailing them on it.
I'm the same "bleeding heart liberal Dem", and agree that the unions simply blew this one, badly. Good for the Governor.

Unions everywhere have to remember " When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail" . Times and situations have changed. They can't expect to keep doing the same thing the same way and expect different results. JMHO
