I started composing this last night…but now…as I am writing it here on Blogging Blue…the news is reporting that Governor Scott Walker is signing the various bills from the lame duck legislative session that will limit the powers of future Wisconsin governors and attorneys general. But lets get back to my original thoughts.
So lets […]
Now this time at least, the onus is fully in the GOP camp since they hold unassailable majorities in both the Wisconsin Assembly and Senate. But apparently there was a 2013 agreement to limit the late night activity under the dome at the Capitol. Whoops…the 2018 Lame Duck sessions blew that all to hell! […]
Wisconsin GOP Honors The Memory of Merrick Garland!
As most of you remember Merrick Garland was the very qualified jurist that President Obama nominated to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia. But the obstructionist Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suggested that tradition prevented him from considering the nomination in the Senate and that the next president instead should have the right to select […]
Defense Contractor Abandons Milwaukee for the Falls!
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel recently published an article about a City of Milwaukee defense contractor heading for Menomonee Falls!
Defense contractor Leonardo DRS could have developed its new $56 million factory and offices, with more than 400 workers, at Century City Business Park — less than a mile from its outdated facility […]
Earlier this week I sent emails to Governor Scott Walker, Speaker Robin Vos, and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald suggesting in some of my ‘best words’ to call off the power grab they were working on.

Alderman Tony Zielinski: Lame-duck session measures not in tune with Milwaukee
something else from our inbox today:
Statement of Alderman Tony Zielinski
December 6, 2018
The lame-duck session measures approved by the Republican-controlled state Legislature are ill-advised and I firmly oppose them.
In my view it’s never a good idea to try to govern and consolidate power by ignoring the will of voters […]

Desperation: The Republican Legacy
Republicans Rig the Rules Following Election Losses
In an effort to undermine election results after voters resoundingly elected Democrats to every statewide office, Senate Republicans voted on a series of proposals to limit the powers of Governor-elect Tony Evers and Attorney General-elect Josh Kaul.

Well Governor Walker Could Always Just Veto The Bills
when you stop laughing…and you finally catch your breath…it may behoove you to contact the governor and remind him that this pretty much screws his legacy in Wisconsin! And when you stop laughing, I realize there’s not a snow balls chance in hell that he will veto these bills…but at least put your voice out […]
