Is Governor Walker actually Pinocchio in disguise?

Why does everything with Governor Walker have to be so contentious, and so full of suspicion?  Personally, I have never seen a politician in my entire life that generates as much controversy as Governor Scott Walker.  Seriously, every single day for the past sixteen months there seems to be something that he is doing or saying that does not pass the smell test.  It should not be this way with any Wisconsin governor.  At least not in my book.
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

  1. From whence cometh the 33,000 jobs?

  2. It frightens me that Walker is up by 5 or 6 percentage points in a recent poll.

  3. My 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!
