"Viewpoint" by Brendan Williams, printed in Wednesday's News Tribune (don't know if it will be in the Olympian):
Williams wrote, in part:
"... I’m tired of hearing so many legislative Republicans who have never had private-sector jobs bash the public sector. I would like to see them put their money where their mouths are. ... I had offered an amendment to the furloughs’ legislation that would reduce the $90 per day compensation paid to Legislators during the legislative session by an amount equivalent to the reduction in compensation for the average legislative worker under furloughs. It’s curious that furlough-loving Republicans don’t like that idea."
That, in a nutshell, is why the Republicans don't like Williams!

State workers notoriously have tons of paid leave in the bank. How do you force someone to take leave without pay when you owe them paid leave?
