"An envelope full of feces was sent to the office of state Sen. Lena Taylor, D-Milwaukee."

"The return label read, 'Milwaukee Trade Unions Want The Iron Mine.'"

Union nastiness turns on the Democrats who opposed the big iron mine (assuming the return label reflects to the source of the shit).

Here's some info on the mine. Here's a letter to the editor of a Manitowoc newspaper:

Why do the private-sector unions support the Democrats? Not one Senate Democrat will vote for good-paying, union-related mining jobs in Wisconsin. Most of these jobs just happen to be in Democratic Senate districts. They're afraid the water and environment will be damaged, but don't seem to mind letting Milwaukee (Democratic District) pump raw sewage a few times a year into Lake Michigan when it rains too much.

Could it be Democrats and union bosses only want public-sector union jobs, want Indian tribes to have the only businesses in Northern Wisconsin, don't want us to lose our top-10 ranking as most restrictive areas in the world for mining and don't like private-sector union jobs that can't be moved to China?

It's because Gov. Scott Walker wants the mining bill. Thank you, union bosses, for fighting for these good-paying union mining jobs. I heard five trade unions backing the mining bill in Madison March 6, but didn't see any media coverage. I must have missed the news that day.

What a waste of my union dues. How stupid of me. My union dues aren't used for any political reasons. I'd go to the library to get some information on this, but I need a photo ID to get a library card. Wait, I'll just Google it.
