SOME of the WI union's collective bargaining privileges . . .

There's quite a bit of sloppy reporting on Dems' WI tantrum. In particular, most news outlets are leading or headlining with the phrase "stripping public workers of collective-bargaining rights." That's not accurate, though it certainly bolsters the argument for calling the proposed legislation "controversial." From the WSJ:

The governor's proposal, part of a bill aimed at overcoming a $137 million deficit in the current budget and a projected $3.6 billion hole in the next two years, would allow collective bargaining on wages, but not pensions and health care. Workers would be required to pay more for both. And raises would be limited to the inflation rate, unless voters approved steeper boosts.
