He is someone who not only believes but said out loud that Democrats want to make people dependent on the government. <br /><br />You could say he is Wisconsin's version of George W. (Walker) Bush -- ignorance plus power -- only our governor is the worse ideologue and he will probably prove to be the worse governing disaster. <br /><br />The recall effort was certainly well-justified. Gotta hope the opposition fields a winning candidate next election.enoughalreadynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-66184786587310242572013-02-21T08:13:15.141-06:002013-02-21T08:13:15.141-06:00Today's journalists are so lazy and incompeten...Today's journalists are so lazy and incompetent that they will never, ever analyze what this budget means -- just transcribe and dutifully report what the man claims. This even though anyone with half a brain can see through what is happening. This is the Tea Party agenda wrapped in the veneer of compassion for the middle class. Walker saying it doesn't make it so, unless you happen to be a member of the news media. "Gee, if we criticize him we might be (dear God!) denied access." We have to get rid of this clown in 2014.

It would force the City to evaluate why the middle class continues to leave, and discover policies they can implement to attack the conditions which are pushing them away.<br /><br />Milwaukee needs more than a residency rule to maintain a middle class tax base. James you are intelligent, make thoughtful connections, you should know a bad public policy when you see it. If Barrett used half the effort of thinking about excuses justifying residency into thinking about how to make Milwaukee neighborhoods appealing, the city would benefit. <br /><br />This rule is an excuse for Barrett and his common council to not have to come up with a comprehensive plan to improve neighborhoods. It is admitting the City is a bad place to live. It is admitting they can't stop the decline or reverse it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-3672848484431669312013-02-20T21:39:16.406-06:002013-02-20T21:39:16.406-06:00walker is the proverbial turd in the punchbowl and...walker is the proverbial turd in the punchbowl and journal communications, lee enterprises, gannet, clear channel, and the locally-owned teabaggin' press in ripon, j-ville, fort, eau claire, and a few other municipalities are the merry glasses that make sure we all get a taste of the crap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-71223796066087717542013-02-20T20:35:11.445-06:002013-02-20T20:35:11.445-06:00But..but..but what about the $100 million to "...But..but..but what about the $100 million to "Transform Milwaukee" that Walker promised during the Recall election? http://news.wpr.org/post/barrett-milwaukee-still-waiting-transform-money Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
