As we enjoy the apparent withdrawal of GTac from the Penokees to which they came to destroy, let's not forget that a couple of the major enablers of the massive mine plan or the sweetheart one-company bill shoved through the Legislature at the company's behest have come out the fiasco ahead of where they were at the beginning:
* Former state Rep. Jeff Stone, (R-Greendale). He's the suburban Milwaukee legislator who made said Ojibwa tribal representatives did not have a seat at the table - - his words, watch the video - - when the putrid bill was up for Legislative consideration by Stone and his fellow committee members.
Where's Stone today? Walker gave him a $94,000-a-year senior administrator's job at the Public Service Commission last year that was initially ticketed for another GOP legislator, Scott Suder, who'd gotten caught up in a DNR/grant scandal.
And the Wisconsin Paper Council picked Suder up. All's well that ends well.
* Former GTac lobbyist Bob Seitz. Walker just appointed Seitz also to a senior position at the PSC, which is apparently what backers of failed mining projects also call Heaven.

...needs much wider circulation. At CPAC a kittle boy asks Walker twice for his beliefs about climate change. He completely ducks both questions -- it is absolute classic Walker-ese. People really need to see this to help them understand what a weasel this guy really is.
