Scott Walker to sign right-to-work bill Monday at Badger Meter

Gov. Scott Walker will sign so-called right-to-work legislation on Monday morning at Badger Meter in Brown Deer after the Assembly passed the measure Friday morning following almost 24 hours of debate. The measure bans labor contracts that would make it mandatory for workers to pay union fees. The legislation zoomed into play this year, pushed by GOP legislators, after Walker brushed aside the issue as a distraction during his re-election campaign last year.

I grew up in Brown Deer. Used to ride my dirt bike in their field (now sold off and subdivided) behind Badger Meter.

Too bad, just recently, Walker wasn't always on board with this effort. Pretty sure his hand was forced by his Republican Legislature:

Walker Says Legislature Shouldn't Focus On Right-To-Work Bill Next Session

you do understand this guy is governing a deep blue state right?. He’s gotta play the political game, and, so far, he’s great at it. Should Obama’s immigration scheme o into effect, i can def see a “President Walker” rescinding that executive order, and start deporting on a mass scale....he’s got the stones to do it.

Sorry, I'm not interested in excuses for bad decisions where conservative policy positions are concerned. I'm interested in fidelity to conservative policy positions and the willingness and ability to communicate the correct policy position and educate voters as to why it is better than the incorrect non-conservative policy position.

Cruz provides this type of Leadership, Walker, on the other hand, seems to punt on important and tough issues. I don't know why, he seems capable enough, but way too often he is changing his positions and walking away from leadership fights.

Walker does politics like great generals do war. There are times for charging the hill and times when you want to let someone else do it, then “lead from behind”. Knowing that Right To Work was the HOT issue with unions, Walker masterfully put the legislature in the lead, making his role a fait accompli after they passed the bill

You people who like to tear every candidate down over small insignificant shifts in position or political maneuvering - I ask you, other than playing mind games, what doe it accomplish? Couldn’t you better use your energy to do something constructive that would remove the real enemy, the liberal/democrat/socialist/progressive/elite ruling class?

Did you read Rush’s newsletter interview of Walker?

Very impressive.

Walker has a proven legislative and administrative record in a Democrat state.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Can you tell me why you refuse to have at least one Conservative Republican representing you in the Senate?

[Democrat_media]

These concern trolls like that one you are replying to imposed obama on us. Instead of attacking Obama or the democrats they are using liberal media bs to slander a great conservative like Scot Walker

[Democrat_media]

As president Walker will restore America , freedom and prosperity in the USA

You slander a great conservative like Scott Walker when he is the only one that has won against the democrat/media complex and he’s done it in a liberal state.

divide and conquer is your strategy.

[basalt]

exactly..you gotta be able too play politics nowadays...with all the media now, you gotta be nimble. Obama did this to perfection in 2008, then, as soon as he got elected, he went right for the liberal wet dream, socialized medicine,,,etc. I say Walker’s got what it takes...but we gotta get him elected first. Gotta stop looking for the “perfect” person...he doesn’t exist, Geez.

As president Walker will restore freedom and prosperity in America.

This socialist monster Obama is destroying American and freedom. I’m counting the days until it no longer is president. If Republican Scott Walker becomes President I will finally have some hope.

I can’t believe the damage this communist monster Obama is doing to America and freedom, and the Internet(his FCC unconstitutionally passed net neutrality laws). Obama and the news media are destroying America, freedom and capitalism on purpose.

I just fear this evil marxist creep Obama will not leave in 2016. what a nightmare this Obama has created for us in a once free country the USA. the Obama pos done all this damage with the help of the news media and the democrat party

I hate Obama , the news media and all democrats who voted for this cretin Obama. I can’t believe we are living in this nightmare. What these traitors have done to America, freedom, opportunity ,prosperity is the worst thing any group has ever done . Walker is the one to restore America , freedom and the Internet . Obama has illegally gotten his FCC to pass socialist net neutrality laws to regulate the Internet (ruin the Internet)

[Rome2000]

He continues to prove his importance to the cause of crushing the American marxist movement through direct action, not meaningless rhetoric..

He will be on the ticket, it is inevitable.

[GeronL]

I would not vote for someone whose views on major issues are still unformed or are evolving

[basalt]

i agree ,... what i saw Walker do in Wisconsin was nothing short of amazing. Get him in office, the S.H.T.F...it’ll be great, I’m that confident.

RE:”Cruz provides this type of Leadership,..”

Yes, I can see that, losing every single fight against Dems..... some of us want to see Dems asses kicked for a change.

[basalt]

Which is exactly what the media wants...

You bashing a great conservative like Walker; your purist act is getting stale. Your purist act meant to divide us imposed Obama on us
