CAT Tracks for March 24, 2012
IL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE |
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
Union-busting Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker is comin' to Springfield at the invitation of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce to do some braggin'...to show 'em how it's done.
To insure that Scotty has friendly audience, the Chamber is offering reservations to members, but advising members to keep the event on the down low! (CAT Tracks Editor's Note: I'm sorry, Chamber members...that was culturally insensitive of me. Translation: "Keep it on the down low" means to keep it quiet, aka Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...)

Expect to see unfeathered "birds"...

The Chamber is trying to keep it quiet for now. From the same e-mail…

The Illinois Chamber of Commerce is very proud to announce Governor Scott Walker will serve as keynote speaker at Employer Action Day, the Chamber’s annual lobby day to be held in Springfield on April 17. His address will recount Wisconsin’s dramatic fiscal turn around and serve as an important reminder to our state policy makers that big problems require big solutions.
While this invitation is being sent to chamber executives today, we are not making a formal press announcement at this time. Please take reasonable steps to keep the invitation limited to employer members and not members of the press.
