Did Walker deny his involvement? Why won’t he answer questions about it? Why the silent treatment from his staff? You are pathetic if you can’t connect the dots.

Who had motive, means, and opportunity to do this? Could it be the guy about to announce his Presidential run? Who else had a motive to repeal open records laws that had been on the books over a hundred years? Not only do you apparently not know anything, you don’t even Suspect anything!

Sorry your reading comprehension is not up to snuff. The answers to your questions are right here...

Top Assembly Republicans on Monday defended their party’s attempt to dramatically alter the state’s open records law — a proposal that was swiftly scrapped over the weekend in response to broad public condemnation.

Rep. John Nygren, co-chairman of the Legislature’s budget-writing committee, and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, said the plan had the input and support of legislative leaders from both houses.

Nygren, R-Marinette, said in an interview that the goal of the proposed changes was to protect constituents, and he said news outlets have misrepresented the intent.

“In my view, there should be some privacy for constituents to contact my office. You guys don’t give a (expletive) about that,” Nygren said. “All you want to do is make this about, somehow, that we’re stifling transparency for the press.”

Speaking in an interview with Wisconsin Public Radio earlier Monday, Vos, R-Rochester, echoed that reasoning and said there was “nothing sinister” about the open records changes or lawmakers’ decision to scrap them less than 48 hours after they were made public.

“We want to ensure that if somebody writes their legislator, they should know that the comments that they make and the words that they say have some ability to be protected, so they can’t be targeted,” said Vos, R-Rochester.

Why does Walker need to deny involvement when the Speaker of the Assembly and a leading Finance committee chairman openly say it was their effort and that with some tailoring the change will be submitted again? You sound so much like a deranged liberal on this.
