Kasich and Walker want to "honor" state workers. LOL

Posted: May 5, 2011

Kasich and Walker wanted to "honor" state workers. Well, as you might imagine, that didn't go over very well. The laughter is still going.

Yes, I saw that and thought it was pretty ridiculous. He attempts to take away collective bargaining rights from public employees and the average public employee will lose somewhere in the area of $5000 a year in pay if the bill goes through, and then he declares Public Employee Recognition day. What a joke!!!

How much longer do we have to wait before Walker is eligible for recall? - That's tooooo long.

They can't get him out soon enough. I wish he was eligible for recall today.

MT Week. Equally as funny (and sad).

Walker--What, you are sick? Go back to work. - Flexibility, you know. sm

Governor Walker has done away with paid sick leave for Milwaukee County, which Milwaukee County voters had voted for in a 2008 referendum. The new Republican legislature passed a law that threw that referendum out.

Today, Governor Walker signed that repeal into law. "This law gives employers the flexibility they need to put people back to work and that makes Wisconsin a more attractive place to do business," he said.

Whiskey shots for everyone! - sm

With Wisconsin state Senate recalls now at six Republicans and three Democrats, the state Democratic Party says it's filing a formal challenge today to the petitions against Democrats. "We believe that when the facts are reviewed, the [Government Accountability Board] will throw out thousands of flawed signatures because they were fraudulent or defective," Senate Democratic Leader Mark Miller says in the press release. "The vast depth of this misconduct calls into question the legitimacy of every signature collected by these circulators, and shows that the GOP effort failed to gather the valid signatures needed for recall elections."

Anyone remember the story about the guy offering "drinks" to anyone signing the recall petition? gotta love those WI republicans.

I remember that, the guy in the bar having drunks sign petitions to recall Democrats - LOL

That was amazing. They should have gone to jail for that.

Too bad they did not have a video camera set up - FOX could have broadcast it

â�¢Senate District 12: Of the 534 people contacted who had signed the petition, 9.2% indicated they were misled into signing the petition or asserted they had never signed.
â�¢Senate District 22: Of the 225 people contacted who had signed the petition, 6.6% indicated they were misled into signing the petition or asserted they had never signed.
â�¢Senate District 30: Of the 372 people contacted who had signed the petition, 8.6% indicated they were misled into signing the petition or asserted they had never signed.
â�¢Affidavit of a World War II veteran from Green Bay who was misled into signing a recall petition. Upon learning he had been duped, veteran called the sheriff to get his name removed. When confronted, the circulator claims he will remove the name, but a later review of the petitions reveals the veteran's name was never crossed off.
â�¢Many affidavits attesting that Circulator Sherri Ferrell - who gathered nearly 3,000 signatures in two districts -- gathered signatures on Indian reservations claiming petitions were to support "schools," "Democrats," and "tribal rights."
â�¢Affidavit of voter in Senate District 22 attesting that circulator John Prijic claimed the petitions were for work to be done on a local park.
â�¢Affidavit of voter in Senate District 30 attesting that circulator Annette Lord claimed the petitions were to recall Republican Senator Cowles.
â�¢Affidavit of voter in Senate District 30 attesting that circulator Richard Madrill claimed the petitions were to recall Republican Gov. Scott Walker.
â�¢William Pocanâ��s forged name appears on line 10, page 362 of circulator Kevin Pursellâ��s petition. As his widow Corinne Pocanâ��s affidavit attests, William Pocan has been deceased 20 years, although his name remains in the phone book. Pursell circulated numerous pages.
â�¢Claims by many Wisconsin citizens who were misled by out-of-state circulators who claimed they could sign on behalf of other people.
â�¢Numerous examples of fake addresses and signatures appearing on GOP recall petitions, as well as sloppily gathered signatures also missing critical information.

Oh my! - Interesting

THIS BOTHERS ME. You go to college, you get a job making 60,000 a year. Your employer happens to have excellent medical coverage and now I will be taxed 40%?

Cost of his trip to London? $138,200, according to Walker’s office. Cost of trips to Germany, France, Spain and Quebec, Canada? Yet to be released by Walker's office.

Listening to Kasich double talk his and Cruz plan to block Trump now saying it is not a plan but he has just decided not to campaign in certain states This idiot believes that if he does not campaign voters will automatically vote for Cruz.

With this Kasich/Cruz plot, I hope Trump wins overwhelmingly. &n ...

of course, are outraged, but very conservative Mr. Kasich, who used an "administrative maneuver" to accomplish this, says it's a matter of both Christian compassion, as well as "cool economic practicality." Seemingly Mr. Kasich does not plan to run for President in 2014. :) This will be very big for some Ohioans, and irrelevant for others of course. Hopefully those interested will consider finding out what their new premium and coverages would be either in in person or by phone... ...
