——why did he table Right To Work when his Statehouse said they had the votes to pass it?

Another inaccuracy. Walker has not derailed Right to Work. He’s letting the legislature do the blocking and tackling.

. . . .

You seem to be quite the source for c(** tonight.


Walker Says Legislature Shouldn't Focus On Right-To-Work Bill Next Session

He ran away from the fight.

Pretend all you want, it did not fit into his plans at the time.

The post I responded to said Walker affirmatively ‘tabled’ the bill. In Wisconsin, Republicans have a majority in both houses and can enact this legislation and it is still on their agenda.

—Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said Friday there will be enough votes to pass a right-to-work bill in Wisconsin this session after the GOP majority grows to 19 following the April election to fill a vacant seat.—

But Gov. Walker stopped short of saying he would veto right-to-work legislation.

“You ask me about hundreds of bills every year and I usually say we’ll wait until we get closer to the process,” said Gov. Walker. “I mean a month from today is the day we all take the oath of office, so it’s pretty premature to be commenting on any piece of legislation.”

…..

Gov. Walker’s comments come just a day after Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) announced he would lead the debate on right-to-work legislation early in the new session that begins in January.

Walker has never run on right-to-work so its not running from a fight on his part.
