Changes to the civil service rules really did not affect him.<br /><br />Having said that, it is ironic that there is a long Q and A article with Tom in the October DNR magazine.

(well, Wisconsin State Journal was sort-of neutral leading up to 2014, but even Madison's daily does not report that these problems exist in DNR's hometown).<br /><br />What's up with that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-92189197287775202172016-10-05T23:37:30.448-05:002016-10-05T23:37:30.448-05:00The word at the DNR is that this guy was told &quo...The word at the DNR is that this guy was told "...dont let the door hit you on the way out..." because he expressed concern about the ramfications of the upcoming "strategic realignment". It is absolutely true that if you dont play Stepps game her way you are shown the door. The DNR is a VERY depressed and non-functional place to be. Environmental concern is not any part of Stepps DNA.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-33173426797592116442016-10-05T20:29:09.277-05:002016-10-05T20:29:09.277-05:00While this is being done at the DNR and it becomes...While this is being done at the DNR and it becomes public because a top official is being sacrificed one has to wonder how many mid to upper pay range state employees are being purged from agencies with little or no fanfare because of their loss of civil service protections due to Walker and friends. I bet this purge is being done swiftly and silently with no one counting the destruction as it is occurring over several agencies with the positions being refilled by loyal Walkerites!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-79783277910437441492016-10-05T19:59:47.000-05:002016-10-05T19:59:47.000-05:00Obviously, this stuff will play big on the nationa...Obviously, this stuff will play big on the national stage in 2018 when Walker leaves the Governor's mansion and frolics around the country on his Harley, doin' photo ops with non-union bikers, and making an ass out of himself at local dining hotspots. He will tell us how he celebrated earth day with these cutbacks and expect the media to cheer and catapult this across America.<br /><br />Well, the national media isn't as stupid and in-the-tank for Walker as the in-state stenographers, but he has now picked up one big player -- USA Today/Gannett, which now owns his BFF Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.<br /><br />If you liked Scott Walker, you will LOVE Robbin Voss in the Governor's mansion. He is playing the game with tRump now to protect the Wisconsin mafia -- walker/ryan/prebius <br /><br />This is the next ALEC stooge that will be hoited into the Governor's office and Walker will be the "great uniter" in certain media circles, because he won't directly have the stench of tRump all over him, but kept his thumb in Don the Con's you-know-what just enough to keep close behind. If the Wisconsin mafia is intact, and Paul Ryan is gerrymandered into a seat for life, the party will want Walker on the top in 2020 (All bets are off if tRump somehow is declared the winner)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-76395095650867392052016-10-05T19:29:07.574-05:002016-10-05T19:29:07.574-05:00Before the civil service "reforms" this ...Before the civil service "reforms" this probably could not have been done, as seniority carried much more weight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
