The LaFollette name is prevalent enough in WI politics that he probably didn’t need any Soros help. Note that the OFFICIAL state web page has a slam at the current administration - http://www.sos.state.wi.us/
No. LaFollette has been SOS for many years, but he is an evil man who has lain low in his little job until recently. A friend of mine has a summer cottage near his, and my friend was ORDERED by him to remove his flag and pole from his land. The SOS’s words: “Move that flag and pole back into the woods where nobody can see it.” My friend refused, and the flag still flies.
But, this is just a glimpse into his character. He’s the one who refused to publish the laws that the new legislature passed earlier this year, preventing them from going into effect in a timely manner. He waitied until the very last minute, thus preserving more time for union contracts to be signed. He shot himself in the foot on that one, however, because the school districts who signed new contracts had to lay off teachers, whereas the ones who went with the new law had no layoffs and are showing surpluses.
