Sometimes as I sit and think about the upcoming election for Milwaukee County Executive, I can’t help but wonder how how much more of a hypocrite Scott Walker could be, considering his status as one of Milwaukee County’s foremost practitioners of the dark art of hypocrisy.
After all, who can forgot these humdingers:
- Taking credit for Milwaukee County’s seven million dollar budget surplus, despite the fact that the surplus came about as the result of a budget Walker himself vetoed.
- Or how about the fact that Walker touts his concern for public safety – despite the fact that during his tenure in office the House of Corrections has been plagued by chronic understaffing, not one, but two high-profile escapes, the second of which ended with a citizen being murdered. And lest we forget Scott Walker’s plan to “keep Milwaukee safe” by closing CCC and placing the individuals confined there on GPS.
- And then there’s Walker’s hypocritical attacks against Lena Taylor for raising campaign funds from outside Milwaukee County, when Walker’s own campaign has been hitting up out of county donors for campaign contributions.
As I sit here thinking about Scott Walker’s repeated hypocrisy, I’m left to wonder if his hypocrisy knows any limits.
