[...] Gretchen Schuldt also questions Walker’s sanity. [...]

It is unfortunate that Walker’s opponent from the last election, Lena Taylor, actually a normally savvy woman, hadn’t run such a lackluster campaign. Another part of the problem is that Walker, early on, found the value of constantly appearing in the media over the years whether he knew anything or not (often not). He’s a great smoozer.

Pretty good for a guy who ran for student government President at Marquette University in 1988, losing because, angry at not being endorsed by the Marquette Tribune (the paper liked both candidates), he had his cronies go around and seize piles of the paper and toss the,. Subsequently, the paper endorsed his opponent. Side note: Scotty never did graduate.

Gretchen and Joe, you said plenty.

Walker is an anarchist and a social and economic terrorist with a megalomaniacal conception of his own power.
His peculiar stance will do nothing to ease the burden on the taxpayers of Milwaukee County.
Very often federal funds can be used by a county to ease the impact of state mandated programs, as Gretchen points out.
So now what? The programs are still mandated, the federal and state money isn’t there, and the money has to come from somewhere.
Absolutely the most boneheaded political gambit I’ve seen in ages.

Kudus to Scott. The hangover from this rash of spending will be horrendous. Does anyone really believe that you can spend a lot of money right now then discontinue doing that after the Fed money is gone? No, you will have to continue those programs and they will go right on the property taxes as a result.
Once again Gretchen Schuldt, a know liar in regards to Tom Reynoldsand his supposed use of campaign funds for his utilities per the DA has missed her mark.
If you want more spending, Gretchen,yo u and your liberal friends can donate it.

Oh my God, how can the community stand by while this moron is turning his back on potential federal funds?

County services are dreadful, prisons are understaffed and poorly run, parks are underfunded and this bozo is philosophically opposed to accepting a federal handout?

Walker isn’t fit to be governor. He isn’t even fit to be County Executive.

Recall the bum.

Walker is a tax cutting anarchist. He wants to weaken government to the point where you can drown it in a bath tub. Some people have likened Walker’s ideological bend to Bolshevism, like the communist rulers of Russia, he is so ideologically driven as to ignore the needs of the people. He is a radical, incapable of pragmatic compromise.

We have a government in Washington willing to support and pay for rail mass transit, as well as long needed infrastructure improvements, and we are stuck with County Executive who is ideologically apposed to asking for help. This is completely unacceptable, especially for a political leader of a region with our level of concentrated and racially segregated unemplyment.

I encourage the establishment of a strong and active coalition against Walker before he runs for governor. I am willing to meet with anyone willing and able to participate in a building a coordinated opposition.

Like Harry Truman used to say, “How many times do you have to get hit over the head before you figure out who’s hitting you?”
