HUH?

I can't believe Krazy Billy said this:
Ohio right-wing talk show host takes position against anti-collective-bargaining law
By David S. Lewis | 10.31.11 | 6:36 pm
The American Independent

Talk-radio personality Bill Cunningham has broken ranks with his fellow conservatives, urging his listeners to vote ‘no’ on Issue 2, which would repeal Ohio’s Senate Bill 5, a law that severely limits public employees’ right to collectively bargain, and voids their right to binding arbitration and to strike altogether.

On The Big Show with Bill Cunningham, broadcasting from Cincinnati, Ohio, the arch-conservative and self-described “Greatest American” blasted Ohio Governor John Kasich, who champions the contentious legislation.

“He was wrong in not meeting with state employees, especially those in labor unions,” he said on Friday, Oct. 28, during his daily talk show. “From my perspective, those affected by governmental decisions need to have a place at the bargaining table to determine the outcome of what’s being discussed,” continued Cunningham.

“The best people I know are cops, firefighters, and teachers,” he said. “They’re reasonable, and they are good people. I urge you to vote ‘no’ on Issue 2 despite the fact that it will cause concern to my conservative, libertarian friends.”

I mentioned to you previously, Cunningham had some history as a liberal labor attorney when he first broke in.
