From what I’ve gathered here at FR, your governor Walker is, on the whole, appreciated for taking on the state employee unions and saving so much money. Is this true?
The sun must seem awfully bright after being under that rock so long.
I don’t know anybody who does not love Scott Walker, but I don’t know everybody in Wisconsin.
We have some very aggressive unions here who have been trying to tear him down all year. Time will tell very soon whether they have been successful. Deadline for turning in the recall petitions is Jan. 17. I’m hoping they don’t have enough signatures, but I think they’ll fake them if they fall short.
If they push this to a recall election it will be a travesty.
So far (since the 2010 election) the Dems have:
1) walked out of the legislature for a month to stall the new rules from taking effect.
2) have attempted to invalidate the election of a Supreme Court Justice
3) have interfered with business as usual at the state capital with continuous protests
4) have threatened the lives of the governor, his family, the lt. governor and her family, and all the Republican State Senators
5) have tried to recall 4 Republican state senators and were successful with 2.
6) have tried to recall the governor, lt. governor, and 4 more state senators.
7) have hit another supreme court justice with lawsuits to try to get him to recuse himself on several issues.
8) have hit the newly elected supreme court justice with false charges
It’s really getting tiresome and is a bad example for our children to watch their teachers taking bogus sick leave to demonstrate in the street.
