Bringing home the taxpayer-funded bacon.
They are so proud.
Government spending destroys more jobs than it creates.
Party affiliation?
Thanks Herb, now retire.
I always pronounce Littoral Combat Ship wrong.
And then my girlfriend smacks me one.
I thought the “major win for Wisconsin was booting out Russ Feingold and the rest of his Demonrat friends. You’re next, Herbie.
Kohl’s so rarely seen or heard from between election campaigns that I’ve taken to calling him “Punxsutawney Herb”.
Wisconsin ping list?
There were supposedly two shipyards competing for the contract. Two yards, two designs.
In the end both won - doubling the order and taxpayer expense.
Failure to make a tough decision, leaving taxpayers on the hook. Again, a hallmark of the administration.
The workers of Marinette Marine ...craftsmanship.
This is a great example of working together...
The Navy has confidence in Marinette and Lockheed Martin...
This is all BOVINE PROCESSED HAY! I have been close to the LCS for many years and Sen. Herb Kohl announcement is as far from the truth as it could be. Martin's ineptitude and greed are legion. Its a complicated and sad story - but very briefly:
1- Their LCS was designed, built, and performs poorly - far below the original design goals. It may "look" good but it ain't.
2- Their cost overruns were so egregious that they: a) nearly sank the entire LCS project, b) resulted in the Navy project manager getting canned, c) had the nerve (and political clout) to extort even more money from the Navy, and d)was a major reason the total number of LCSs to be ordered was so drastically reduced. (In fairness, the Navy is not without sin here but nothing compared to the malfeasance of Martin)
3-The only reason Martin got a reorder was due to political pressure from Congress. Compared to the competing LCS ship designed and built by General Dynamics, Martin was and is an embarrassment.
Doesn’t Kohl have a dry goods/department store to run back there in WI? Voters need to help him get home to mind the store.
Herb Kohl knows that all of us who voted Feingold out of office, are going after him next.
You’re toast, Herb!
It’s a whole new animal here in WI, and it’s angry at liberals who have ruined our state.

Looks like our 'Confirmed Bachelor' Senator is a little shook up after Black Tuesday, LOL!
I just like to see it in print! :)
How many of these will be union jobs?
LCS may be a major win for a Wisconsin shipyard but it’s a major disaster for the US Navy and the taxpayers.
Well, the Republicans have two years to fix the election process in Wisconsin. They should do away with same day registration and voting and add a photo ID component. I’d also like to see a fingerprint on all provisional ballots. That should keep the future fraud down.
