Here's a headline you will never see: "State employees retain 3% COLA raise. Governor Walker orders income tax and dividend grab to fund it." This special session is again going to try to implement the governor's plan for a statewide income tax that will raise roughly 200 million dollars, after he and his union supporters refused to freeze automatic pay raises that will cost the state 80 million dollars this year.  On top of that, he is demanding a raid on the permanent fund earnings that would take half or more of the dividend check from every man, woman and child.  Meanwhile, oil prices and production are both on the uptick, and we are sitting on enough savings in the constitutional budget reserve to pay for the deficit for 3 more years.  We need to let this crisis "go to waste."  Pay the deficit from already established savings, set in place for this very type of need, and put together some very strict spending cuts, freezes and layoffs to bring to next year's legislative session.
