Recall elections are coming up in Wisconsin...

What did he do? Cut funding?

He did a LOT of things, and I admittedly just hung my head and stopped paying attention after a point unless it was in my face or someone posted an article about it on facebook, because ignorance is bliss. So some of the other Wisconsonites might be able to enlighten you more/understand the situation better than me.

I know he took away collective bargaining rights across the state. One of breaking points for my professors was when they all lost their healthcare benefits... Which is one of the main reasons people choose a career in education. There was talk about taking away their retirement funds entirely, as well, which is what rushed one of my advisers to randomly retire over the summer. I don't know if it ever happened, but when you've had a chunk of your paycheck put into that account for the last 30 years, better safe than sorry I guess.

There are now "NO HANDGUNS ALLOWED" signs on all of my school buildings and many stores because carrying a concealed weapon is now completely legal in WI.
Edit: To add to this point, the University is REQUIRED to allow guns and other weapons on campus because of this law--they can only ban them inside of buildings.

The last bit I caught recently was he made it completely legal for employers to pay women significantly less than men, as men take obviously take their jobs more seriously and deserve better pay because some women take time off for childbirth.
