AND THEY WONDER why we think they're overpaid?

AFSCME (American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees) officials said they're looking to spend more on the 2012 elections than the $93 million spent in 2010, hinting that the figure would top $100 million. The early plans, according to those officials, are to capitalize on the politics of the moment -- centered on the issue of income inequality and propelled by important victories for union workers in Ohio and Wisconsin -- and undertake one of the more comprehensive field operations in election history.

Whose pocketbook did that $100 million come from?
