1. The deduction of union dues and support for the political action activities of the union was a negotiated provision of local government's contract with its unions. Do you think that the State should be allowed to dictate to local governments how they should negotiate with their employees? Explain.
2. Why would taxpayers have a problem if they knew that the state or local governments were collecting political action committee money for the unions?
3. What would be the basis for the Supreme Court to rule in the State's favor? In the Union's favor?
