Good grief, he signs this great piece of legislation, and you speak as if he was against it. Had he been against it he would have vetoed it and never let is seen the light of day again.
I think he did not support the RTWL until now because he had other legislation to get passed. If he tied a Right to Work Law with his attempts to reign in public sector unions, he might have failed at both.
President Reagan, had a simple strategy, pick one or two big issues at a time. Governor Walker has done the same.
He was against doing it at that time. He didn’t want more controversy as his campaign ramped up.
He said he wished they wouldn’t bring it up, but if they passed it, he’d sign it.
So yes, he was not wanting them to do it now.
There is no better time to do it with an overwhelmingly strong assembly and a couple seat majority in the senate. ANd he says he doesn’t want this being done at that time.
So that is the honest assessment of what happened. He did sign it like he said, and I am glad he did. But the backstory is the backstory and I am not sugarcoating it for anyone.
we have to be honest about what goes on with our people. Warts and all. I still like him, I can understand why he thins that was the right move, but I am not a shill or running cover for anyone.
