Labor leaders must pay for parade if GOP banned, mayor says

The mayor of a Wisconsin town said on Tuesday a local labor council would have to reimburse the city up to $2,000 for a Labor Day parade if organizers exclude Republican lawmakers from attending.

I guess that socialist labor union parasite thought he could call the shots on a public parade. No you can't Hitler!
