Why does it not surprise me that Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s administration would outsource highway sign maintenance to a company based in Georgia?
The state has entered into a new contract to maintain the blue signs on highways that direct drivers to restaurants and gas stations near Wisconsin’s highways, and businesses that rely on that service won’t see a price cut.
The new contract gives the work to Interstate Logos, a Georgia-based subsidiary of billboard giant Lamar Advertising Co., and keeps prices at the same amounts they have been for years.
Money talks– According to Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, Lamar made 260 political contributions to Wisconsin candidates totaling $32,880. Go to the Democracy campaign website to see what your favorite representative or governor received:

That “laser focus” on jobs continues…
He keeps doing this stuff – things that directly affect Wisconsinites – and his popularity and poll numbers remain consistent.
I just don’t understand this.
He can do anything without unions to back up the people
