And the Wisconsin Bar tells us just how strong is that word "negligence," as "government officers or employees are not shielded from liability for 'negligent performance'" of their duties.

Easy there, Reagan's Disciple. She said that the totals did add up -- before Nickolaus pushed aside the elderly Dem. Now we know why: the latter was not allowed to see what was going on in the back room but only was allowed to see the totals added up. Clearly, Waukesha County is not abiding by the rules for observers at a canvass.
But just as clearly, Waukesha County likes it that way, electing a clerk given immunity in a criminal scandal and then continually re-electing her despite screwup after screwup. So you can continue to rest easy there -- unless the state does finally step in to fix the mess in Waukesha and make it come into the 21st century.
Waukesha County, Republican pols failed to kill it.

What water, wetland protection is all about
"A little fill here and there may seem to be nothing to become excited about. But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist. Our navigable waters are a precious natural heritage, once gone, they disappear forever," wrote the Wisconsin Supreme Court in its 1960 opinion resolving Hixon v. PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.

Thanks for the citation.
I thought all of the totals "jived" up? Now she is changing her tune? The union leaders must have gotten some "alone time" with her.
