Supporters
of Governor Walker can and will say a lot of things to rebuke my discharge on
this matter, but it is repeatedly evident that Governor Walker has clearly demonstrated
non-stop actions that are ripe for
criticism on many levels at every turn.
Sadly, much of the divisiveness in our state seems to center around this
issue by the governor and key legislators.
But does it really have to be this way?
If so, why?
For example,
today Governor Walker not only announced the supposed new job figures touting
job gains by his administration, he did so by posting the news through a TV
ad. That in and of itself may not seem
like much, but consider the fact that Governor Walker is claiming that the
Department of Workforce Development (DWD), which released the figures, had not
shared them with him ahead of their release today. Yet, the governor’s announcement of DWD’s
figures were released in his TV ad that aired around noon today.
Forget about
the legitimacy of the actual figures; let’s simply talk about the reality of Governor
Walker’s people being able to analyze the data from the DWD and turn it into a
TV ad and have get it aired by noon, when they supposedly did not receive the
data from the DWD prior to DWD’s public release late this morning. Even Pinocchio would be intrepid to try and
sell this one to us.
For once,
just once I would love to see Governor Walker actually do or say something that
is not so outwardly full of suspicion and deceit. I for one find it incredibly difficult to
believe that our state will ever regain normalcy unless such charades are
eliminated in our state house. Don’t we
deserve that and more from our governor?
Sincerely,
Gary

ReplyDeleteIt frightens me that Walker is up by 5 or 6 percentage points in a recent poll.
ReplyDeleteMy frustration with the Govenor is that he seems to forget of all of the teachers that retired and weren't replaced or were non-renewed and not replaced. I keep forgetting that public educators aren't part of his "job creation" numbers! I wish that the people of Wisconsin could see that Walker is NOT good for this state!
