ENDING GAB: On Wednesday, Gov. Scott Walker signed the Government Accountability Board reform bill that one Republican lawmaker said ends an "eight-year failed experiment."

Let me explain to Kevin Kennedy how the transition will work. First he packs his personal belongings and vacates his office forthwith. Then the Legislature fixes the mess he made. In the meantime, he should hire his own attorney to keep his sorry tuchus out of jail.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

I love this line:Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, who did not have his home raided by armed law enforcement in an unconstitutional campaign finance investigation...

Barca can go pound salt. He is a pitiful excuse for a lawmaker.

What about John Chisolm? His butt should also be jailed.

Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, who did not have his home raided by armed law enforcement in an unconstitutional campaign finance investigation, said the governor and legislative Republicans "could not be trusted to do the right thing" for the state.

This reads like, 'The Onion,' LOL! Barca is such a POS! Here he is, leading the charge to trash our State Capitol after Governor Walker enacted Act 10.

Chisolm is not part of this Bill. His comeuppance will come later. He’s the subject of a petition to the Governor by a bunch of minorities to be removed from office for other infractions.

Does Walker have power to remove him or does he have to be recalled?

And he WHINED in the newspaper that he needed the help of his PARENTS to afford to be part of the runaway legislature that fled to Illinois, rather than stay for the vote on Act 10. I did not know the man at the time, and I thought he might be about 23 — just out of college. Turns out he's in his 50s, or 60s. And he's still sponging off of his folks. It's not like hotel rooms in the Midwest go for Manhattan prices. It was Rockford, FGS - not Michigan Ave. in Chicago.

Non-partisan really means bi-partisan. There will be an equal number of Dems and Republicans appointed.

The people petitioning claim that Walker has the power to remove him.

The Government Accountability Board, the illegal Stalin-state move to conduct John Doe prosecutions of political enemies, another liberal legacy.

This is great news. Chisholm and his other buddies have until Friday to file an appeal (using taxpayer dollars) with the US Supreme Court over the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling which shut down John Doe II. I’ll bet he does, but don’t think the Supremes will ‘grant cert’ unless they want to shut this sort of crap down to make a point. Chisholm is a real vindictive guy. It’ll be nice to see him lose one more time.

Give thanks to O’Keefe and others. They stood very tall and paid a big price to combat this terrorism.

Thank God they exposed the corruption.

Too bad that democrat leaders have no morals.

I was referring to the current GAB being nonpartisan.

What a load of crap.

Indeed! Kevin and his good friend Lois Lerner should order up matching jailhouse suits.

Minority Leader Barca is very disappointed. He loved the organized criminal activity that was aimed at evil Republicans. I'm sure that he believes that the reason they have grabbed political power through corruption and voter fraud is to ensure that the flow of money continues to pass through the pockets of the right politicians and union leaders. This turn of events is a very disturbing outcome.

This law was so scary, you did not feel like you were in America. Its educational to see that government can take away the rights of anybody so easily. All that freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom from unwarranted search can just dissolve when faced with a committee run by Elsworth Toughy.
