One issue that has gone unmentioned is that through collective bargaining, the State of Wisconsin agreed to high benefits in lieu of high compensation (i.e., pension benefits are, in effect, deferred compensation). Now that the cost of this deferred compensation has become apparent, the Governor wants to reduce it as well as knock down salaries that were consciously deflated to account for the deferred compensation - sort of a double whammy IMHO.
