If so many of his staff were committing felonies, evadig laws, setting up a shadow government with a new email router in his office, only feet from his door, and he was so unaware of this, he was incompetent as a manager of his staff.<br /><br />If he was aware of this, and worse to come, he was corrupt as an elected official.<br /><br />You leave us no alternatives but the choices above, RD. Which is he? And why would either of the above win him election again -- if there is a recall election, before he has to resign for malfeasance?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-20591641655952146842012-01-26T19:42:11.837-06:002012-01-26T19:42:11.837-06:00GOPs are never about reforming or cutting govermen...GOPs are never about reforming or cutting goverment to make it cleaner or remove corruption- they just want to funnel the money to THEIR people.<br /><br /> And it's been that way for at least the last 30 years.Jake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-71489582789238725982012-01-26T18:15:18.157-06:002012-01-26T18:15:18.157-06:00The complaint reveals a “secret email system” that...The complaint reveals a “secret email system” that was “routinely used by selected insiders within the Walker administration” for county business as well as unofficial purposes such as campaigning.<br /><br />The existence of the email system was a closely held secret, and was not made known to the county employee responsible for gathering county emails in response to requests for information made by the public, reporters and groups, the complaint said. The secret system used personal Internet email accounts.<br /><br />"In the course of the investigation, it was learned that a private email network was established and operated out of the County Executive's office and that the private network was used to communicate both political campaign and government-related information to select individuals," Chisholm said in a statement. <br /><br />The complaint does not list all the officials who used the secret system, but it does say the unofficial networking system was set up in the county executive’s office suite by Russell, Walker’s one-time deputy chief of staff at the county." <br />A few emails? Good Lord RD- you gotta be swallowing real hard righ now. <br />I'm assuming you watched the "Governor's" speech. Did you juice how dip fast he was talking. Did you notice that when he asked every business in Wisconsin to creat a new job, there was virtual silence. Did you notice that he didn't mention higher education at all. Thompson used to have the UWM maching band come in to celebrate higher education. Look at the sadness in his eyes.look at the half smile as he walks down the aisle. There was no bravado. The truth is:Walker's time is short.Say What? https://www.blogger.com/profile/10542136708478530935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-85706274243623574082012-01-26T17:57:46.365-06:002012-01-26T17:57:46.365-06:00RD: It's got to be hard defending this guy Wa...RD: It's got to be hard defending this guy Walker of yours.

Now we see that folks within his office have been charged. As a hard charging executive, wouldn't you have thought that perhaps he would have disciplined these employees? We're left with a range of scenarios. He is a poor executive who let his staff run wild working on his campaign and just couldn't stop them. He is a naive fellow who just didn't know what was going on on his behalf at his office. He is a liar and didn't seek the John Doe investigation. He is up to his neck in corruption. Maybe there are more scenarios, If you can find a different one, let's hear it.Ed Hammernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-6335039355701206712012-01-26T14:40:21.504-06:002012-01-26T14:40:21.504-06:00Million dollar pension payouts vs. a few emails tr...Million dollar pension payouts vs. a few emails trying to organize a fundraiser.<br /><br />One was the cause for a recall, and the other is a veiled attempt to try and justify a recall.Reagan's Disciplenoreply@blogger.com
