WI unions not terribly keen on high school’s “Stand With Walker” chant

Walker’s Reforms: Good Policy, Good Politics

Art, do you have anything to say about the links you've posted? Just curious, you never say anything about them, lol. Anyway, I'm working the polls this weekend, traffic control. We're expecting a high turnout for early voting. I however will wait until actual election day to vote. For whatever reason, I feel like my vote counts more when I do it on the day of.

You asked the question I would have liked to ask many times.

I hope you have good weather for election day. That always helps the turn out.

Scatter storms on Saturday but temperature it'll be in the 70's/80's. I hope there's a big turn out statewide.

I think I answered this once before. If I see something that has new info about a topic on CRASS I post it. If I have something additional to say I do so. In the case of Walker, I am curious to see if he survives. I probably would be a Walker supporter if I lived in his state. I am also curious to see what impact his victory or defeat has in other states facing similar issues/situations.

Vote early and vote often!

What are the reasons you would vote for him if you lived here? I've got numerous reasons for opposing him, not least of which what he did to unions...and I'm not even in a union. His DNR appointees, the whole turning the DNR into a customer service based department, resulting in a huge decline in tickets, his idiot slogan "Open for Business" that makes our state sound like a whore, hiring people completely unqualified for the overpaid position while overlooking better candidates, Talgo, opposition to wind energy, mining, women's health clinic support, reinstating a program that Doyle had suspended to now give certain state employees bonuses...BONUSES! For state employees! Even while he himself makes it public the disdain he has for public employees. http://www.jsonline....-148283775.html. And isn't it interesting how I have heard not one word of opposition to that one from any conservative. How telling. Boasting he balanced the budget...big deal, by law that HAS to be done. Overlooking the huge deficit & taking money from a federal grant for foreclosures & putting it towards that deficit to close it. His bizarre opposition to public transportation. I mean,the list goes on & on & on. I hope he gets his ass kicked but he won't because all I see every time I turn on the tv is his putrid head staring out in another ad.

Being from another state I have a very limited view of the complete picture. The vast majority of what I know about walker is his dealings with the public sector unions and his trying to balance the state budget. From my limited view I agree with his union changes. But if I actually lived there I would have a wider opinion of the issues and my positive thinking of him might "evolve."

I think I answered this once before.

You have.

[wedjat]

So for whatever reason, I keep getting Walker posts on my twitter feed even though I'm not following him, duh! I've replied to each of the posts telling them to take me off their list. Finally today I replied to him & said "Looking forward to you hopefully getting the boot tomorrow!" LOL, I hope his staffers see it.

I've got my fingers crossed for you guys over there in WI.
