Sometimes it's hard to figure out who the real Tommy Thompson is.

There's the Thompson who chided state employee unions this month for complaining about Gov. Scott Walker's proposals to increase the amount workers pay for pensions and health care.

"Of all the governors that I worked with - and the governors' administrations - the one we were able to have the best relationship with and the one we accomplished a lot of things for public workers and the citizens of this state was the Thompson administration," said Beil, whose offices include many photos of Thompson. "He respected us then."

COH please.

Based on the realism of the unions not running the state any longer ,and that he no longer has to put up with them,Thompson can support Walker. Unions hate it when they can't control a politician any longer
