Message: From GoLocalProv by Travis Rowley, GoLocalProv MINDSETTER™: Clearly upset with my characterization of government unions and my recommendation that public salaries be tied to the average private salary of Rhode Island workers, President of AFSCME Local 528 Mike McDonald, with a submission to the Cranston Herald, showcased just how emotional and non-computing the union mind can be. A customary leftist retort, McDonald’s column amounted to a non-response to every point I attempted to make – grounding his response in inarguable platitudes (“[Let’s] roll up our sleeves and work with our state leaders to get R.I. back on track,” and “Together and only working together we will rebuild our economy.”), a frustrated condemnation of my willingness to continue to “push [my] anti-worker agenda to a populace who clearly reject it,” and an expression of personal comfort that my conservative ideas have been “soundly rejected” by Rhode Island voters. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/travis-rowley-inside-the-mind-of-a-labor-leader
