A compliant legislature is offering Scott Walker the chance to
take more control of the state's recall machinery just as the process is about to be aimed squarely his way.
The move would allow Walker to halt a policy developed by nonpartisan
election officials that, at least in theory, could make it easier for
groups to gather signatures to recall the governor, as well as
legislators from either party.
"You have given the governor control of the chicken coop, so to say," Sen. Lena Taylor (D-Milwaukee) told Republicans...
Under the changes Republicans are considering, Walker would also get to
decide whether universities can put stickers on their identification
cards that would make them so they could be used for voting.
Whether Walker grabs these powers from the Government Accountability Board - - and what a conflict-of-interest that would be - - will be the first test of his core values since he asked the public's indulgence on ethical matters,
citing his upbringing in a pastor's home and attainment of Eagle Scout rank.
Sounds like passing the buck. "Here- Scooter, dig your own grave. We're sick of this mess."

"Here Scott. You decide who votes."
An official inspection of that merit badge sash likely has a badge for successfully completing the, "CBC," Counterfeit Badge Creation, requirement.
