You voted fair and square for Walker and you need to suck it up.

Yet Walker collects a full paycheck, gives himself and his staff raises, protect his adjenda and the "hardworking taxpayers" are left to revolt to state legislators who respond by doing NOTHING. If WI does not take a stand against our current anti-democratic legislators and governor - then do not bother holding a rally. You want Walker's attention or the GOP controlled Legislators attention - VOTE THEM OUT THE FIRST CHANCE YOU GET. A lot of Spooner voted for Walker. So, live with it or DO SOMETHING IMPACTFUL.

Walker is so short of cash in tax collection due to his corporate and big special interests welfare, that he now is deciding what small businesses can operate and is now dictating where they can be located! The Playroom closet is going out of business after 20+ years because Walker has decided kid's consignment shops are bringing down local neighborhoods and he has decided they can only be located in a strip mall in a certain geography with other consignment type shops. How does this impact you West Allis? Now instead of having choices in a free market, you are forced to pay full retail for your kids clothing, toys, bikes and sports equipment. Walmart or Target or any of your BIG stores with lobbyists ($$$) have the same rules imposed on them. The rules are only imposed on honest, caring small business owners who try to serve their community. WI...is THIS what you elected Walker for?? To decide who gets to have a business and who doesn't? To force that business to relocate to an undesirable area or close down?? Sadly, the Playroom Closet is closing down. And more will follow until people stand for the democracy that represents America & those who cherish it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-19300679343343618722015-06-17T18:41:09.899-05:002015-06-17T18:41:09.899-05:00Well, we knew that this would happen when Walker r...Well, we knew that this would happen when Walker recently again promised that he would have no nonfiscal items in his budget.<br /><br />#walkerliesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-64942298060442346262015-06-17T15:04:55.024-05:002015-06-17T15:04:55.024-05:00As per the power-mad, repugnantcan puppetmasters, ...As per the power-mad, repugnantcan puppetmasters, <br />it's not a budget for protecting any water, it's about pipelines and a $25million crude oil transfer (and spill) doc for the GREAT LAKES state of Wisconsin to turn it all into a global "sacrifice area":<br /> <br />http://www.prairiebizmag.com/event/article/id/13705/<br />http://files.ctctcdn.com/62f9246d001/d7628a22-a2c7-4fa1-b913-5fac9bdfb136.pdfLa Mernoreply@blogger.com
