Governor Walker appears unwilling to hold genuinely public sessions prior to the introduction of his 2013-15, or next election cycle budget, so you can expect to see him receive "input" as carefully-staged and packaged as the settings where it'll be offered.
He said he was looking for public input on
the [tax] issue, which is beginning Tuesday in Green Bay with his first
"Talk with Walker" series of meetings with businesses and their workers
around the state.
A few days ago Walker told a friendly audience at the Reagan Library and Museum in California about his budget plans for Wisconsin; the timing and setting encouraged speculation that he was laying the foundation for a 2016 presidential run - - which then allowed Walker to humbly deny he had any presidential aspirations.
Call that a political win-win, two-days running.
So you can understand why Walker wishes that pesky John Doe probe would get wrapped up; plea bargains and document drops are undermining another narrative which even showed up, caked in irony, on the Reagan Library and Museum website:
Previously, in 2002, Scott was elected County Executive to reform the scandal-ridden county government.
Monday morning on Wisconsin Public Radio, Walker told Joy that the information that he told supporters in California was not new and that he presented that information in LaCrosse last week. Any truth to support his statement?
ReplyDeleteThe Walker campaign did post a video of the appearance in LaCrosse three or four days ago -- well after the visit to California -- but I haven't had the time (or willingness) to view it. Here it is if you want to take a gander. http://www.youtube.com/user/GovWalker
ReplyDeleteI cannot find any news reports of the small business expo, just some photos in the LaCrosse Tribune.
It's sad indeed that when these sham alleged public meetings are held, the local media here in Green Bay don't point out the obvious. These are CLOSED meetings and tightly controlled held at supporters place of business.
