The media either does not cover the stuff you blog about or does so in a such a disconnected way that the narrative is to disjointed and broken up for the public to follow.<br /><br />And even when the media tells some inconvenient truths that are unflattering or reveal corruption, is gets lost in the rest of the pro-walker propaganda they push.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-48038281771082638192015-07-09T16:37:34.390-05:002015-07-09T16:37:34.390-05:00There is an event being organized outside of Wauke...There is an event being organized outside of Waukesha Expo monday.

He simply shuts off the conversation. He and his staff and probably all of the Republicans have gotten even smarter..........the 60 pages of drafting notes on the open records fiasco contain no names nor initials except those of staff from the Legislative Fiscal Bureau. But the fact that Walker, Vos, Fitzgerald, Darling and Nygren met on July 4th and announced that they were pulling the changes from the budget without reconvening the JFC shows that these five were orchestrating this and the 10 Republicans on the JFC were taking their orders from these five leaders. It behooves all of to stay all over this and every time Walker appears anywhere he must be asked to be "open and accountable" and "live " transparency relative to the role Walker and his staff played in creating the proposal and sneaking it in to the budget. I e-mail Darling daily demanding that she walk her talk about standing for open and accountable government. If the public continues to harass them with expressions of outrage one of them will cave!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
