A Few Thoughts About Jeff Stone, The Walker/PSC Suder Substitute
Here's a link to Stone's most recent campaign finance information. Run of the mill conservative donors.
Probably a more shocking disclosure is that Stone used to come into the big city from suburban Greendale - - (a 1930's, federally-planned, cooperative Greenbelt community, did you know?) - - to meet with former Milwaukee Mayor John Norquist and me when I worked as Norquist's policy director and Stone chaired or was ranking Republican on the Assembly's transportation committee.
We'd get together at a Water St. coffee shop to talk politics, and specifically about the over-emphasis on highway expansion in Wisconsin and a lack of commitment to rail.
It was a different era. Dems and Repubs could talk more freely back before everyone in the GOP broke bad to the right.
Stone never moved any policy initiatives Norquist's way and the meetings finally ran their course, but Stone never evinced hostility to Milwaukee.
Final thought: If Walker were smart, he'd move Cathy Stepp out of the DNR Secretary's spot right now, cutting all his losses in one Thursday night/SportsmensGate massacre.

Yes...Stepp and Gunderson and Morony...They've all been devoted to special interest promotion rather than environmental preservation or protection.
Cathy Stepp's is reassignment is coming. Predicted and inevitable. Everyone falls on the sword or gets a promo if affiliated with Walker's camp. If you're lucky, you get to decide.
And all approved by Scott Walker!
Here's what I think when I hear the name Jeff Stone:
the little cartoon man with the funny mustache who comes out to sweep up at the end of the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon.. . .
