It seems state supervisors under the Walker administration have doled out raises averaging 6.52 percent to 2,757 workers, or roughly 1 out of 14 workers "eligible", a total of $8.2 million.
It sounds like a lot of money until you remember that Walker's dismantling of public employee unions, and subsequent unilateral modifications to health insurance and retirement plan deductions, resulted in a 5-10 percent cut in take-home pay for all state workers, less than 2 years ago. So a very few of them got a part of their money back!
The future headline I'm expecting is: 90% of state employee raises go to political appointees and family members of Walker cronies!
Remember, you heard it here first.
