Some people think the Chester County Republican Party is not as extremist as the GOP freak show you see on TV

I think our Chester County Republican commissioners are as freakish as the GOP nutcases you watch on TV. They just don’t flaunt their extremism.

Our Chester County Republican Commissioners hired this extremist union busting group to advise them on how to rid Chester County of unions:

Florida City Paying $2,500 A Day To Radical Union-Busting Firm To Stop Workers From Organizing 

Submitted by admin on Mon, 2012-07-23 14:00
All over the country, right-wing lawmakers are waging a war on Main Street America’s labor rights [1], purporting to do so out of a desire for fiscal restraint (while also backing budget-busting [2] tax breaks for the wealthiest among us). 

Now, the city of Winter Park, Florida, is going to new lengths to stop nearly 150 city workers from joining a union. Apparently more concerned with stopping the union than saving money, Winter Park hired consultants at Kulture LLC, “a firm specializing in labor relations” at the rate of $2,500 a day to persuade workers to vote against organizing [3] this summer: 

Winter Park is paying a consultant $2,500 a day to help the city’s staff dissuade about 150 city workers from joining a union.

Letter: Commissioners hiding anti-union legal, consultant costs

April 10, 2013 

Commissioner Ryan Costello has admitted publicly that the County has hired Buchanan Ingersoll Rooney, PC and Peter List of Kulture, LLC. However, when questioned in a public meeting, the Commissioner refused to reveal the cost of these services. Their failure to be accountable to taxpayers doesn’t end there. I personally filed right-to-know requests on 3/18/13 and 3/26/13 asking the County to provide copies of any contracts and itemized expenses related to the firm of Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, PC including the services of David Hackett, and of Peter List of Kulture, LLC.

It seems that back in 2008 Peter List was in the typewriter & fax machine technology period of the GOP base. This is a press release:

"It's unfortunate that American voters are being fooled into thinking Barack Obama is anything but a bought-and-paid-for lackey for big union bosses like Andy Stern, John Sweeney and their cronies," says List.  "Obama and his fellow Democrats' insistence on passing this dangerous legislation will put more American jobs in jeopardy of outsourcing and subcontracting, as capital flees America like never before, and it will put many smaller companies out of business."
