The Lt Governor, Speaker of the House, and a handful of legislators are also subject to a recall vote along with Walker.

He DID NOT BAN collective bargaining EXCEPT and ONLY as regards the taxpayers money, ie. public service jobs and may I ask what the problem is with that, OR do you suggest everytime they negotiate a raise or whatever, that taxes just be raised. Can only imagine how long you would tolerate that if it was in your state. He did not ban raises or perks, and they absolutely beat most pay and perks out there today...simply said that the state will not be held hostage, or the taxpayers be held hostage.
