Another day, another example of conservative supporters of Republican Gov. Scott Walker behaving badly: There’s been very little coverage of the multiple incidents of harassment and/or violence against recall petition circulators in the mainstream media. Curiously, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin (DPW) has also largely avoided talking about the incidents of harassment and/or violence [...] This morning, Nicholas Reindl resigned his position as campaign manager for Tracey Corder’s campaign for Milwaukee County Supervisor for the 18th District. Mr. Reindl did not want any of the negative issues reported here to disrupt the Corder campaign. During our phone conversation this afternoon, Mr. Reindl denied being the author or the sender of [...] “What is happening in this lawsuit, is the governor is frantically trying to escape from the electorate.” So says Jeremy Levinson, attorney for the recall committees, and I’m inclined to agree, especially after witnessing the Friends of Scott Walker vs Wisconsin Government Accountability Board (GAB) lawsuit hearing this morning in Waukesha.

Scott Walker’s administration outlined a list of cuts it would make to balance the state budget.
