For the legislators who might vote for this bill:
"If one listens to Charlie Sykes, one would think that Abele is a progressive liberal. Yet the only thing progressive about him is his support of marriage equality and gay rights.
Outside of those issues, Abele presents with the same dysfunctional embrace of austerity as any Teapublican. He also is rather anti-worker as evidenced by his attitude towards his own workers and by siding against the Palermo workers. He has also come down on the side of the corporations in the Citizens United debate.
Given his duplicitous nature, can you trust Abele?
Furthermore, it's already pretty obvious that Abele won't be serving another term, if he even finishes this one."
Anyone want to guess why this Co. executive might not even finish this term?

Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele on Tuesday went on Jay Weber's conservative talk show to push a bill that would cut the salary and budget of the Milwaukee County Board.
Abele claimed the bill, proposed by former county supervisor Joe Sanfelippo, doesn't take away power from the board.
Sanfelippo, a Republican Assembly member from West Allis, has said the measure is aimed at restoring an era when supervisors were considered part time and, according to him, county government ran smoothly.
Opponents of the bill contend it would "adversely affect local control and the Milwaukee County Board’s ability to govern effectively." They also say it is a power grab for the county executive.
The bill is scheduled for an Assembly committee hearing at 10 a.m. Wednesday.
