Where’s the outrage over Walker supporters wasting taxpayer dollars?

On December 24, 2010 By

This has been a long time coming…

Several months ago, Citizens for Responsible Government attempted to smear local lefty blogger Chris “capper” Liebenthal, alleging he had committed some sort of crime (presumably misconduct in office) by blogging while at work as an employee of Milwaukee County. Predictably, conservative bloggers were quick to pass judgment on [...]

Rep. Stone paid former Franklin alderwoman for consulting

On September 8, 2010 By

I’m a bit surprised that State Representative Jeff Stone is taking his opponent, Larry Gamble, this seriously. In reviewing his Pre-Primary campaign finance report, Stone’s campaign records a total of $2000 given to Vi Hammelman for “consulting” during the months of July & August. Vi is the ex-wife of former Franklin Alderman Alan Hammelman, who [...]

Failed “Recall Doyle” group takes credit for Doyle not running again

On August 16, 2009 By

Despite not collecting a SINGLE signature in their effort to recall Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle, and despite their recall effort dying a quick and quiet death, the folks at WIN (led by Vince Schmuki) are “claiming victory” as reports indicate Gov. Doyle won’t seek reelection in 2010.
