Walker is really a piece
Posted: Apr 21, 2011
In picking a new register of deeds for Marinette County, Gov. Scott Walker picked a Republican campaign worker with no experience with land records and vital records.
He passed over three candidates with detailed knowledge of how the office of the register of deeds works, including two deputies who have worked in the office for years.

It's called political cronyism...both sides - Indy
[ In Reply To ..]do it and it is not fair on either side, but to be fair, if Walker is a piece, President Obama is also a piece:
Indeed, many of Obama's decisions have been all about benefiting special interests and political friends - what's been called the Chicago Way. Whatever it's called, it's in the interests of the few at the expense of the whole. Some examples:
⢠Obama's firm support for nuclear energy in the wake of Japan's nuclear crisis. We don't fault his position, but it's worth noting that General Electric is a principal constructor of nuclear power plants, and its CEO is a close Obama ally.
Jeffrey Immelt was named to a White House jobs board, where he baffled many by declaring no core inflation in the U.S. and supported the administration's big spending. Was there an exchange of favors?
⢠Obama's praise for Solyndra Inc. as the first recipient of $535 million of stimulus cash in 2009 to hire 1,000 workers for "green jobs." The company had never shown a profit, but that was no obstacle to getting the cash, and in the end the Fremont, Calif.-based solar panel manufacturer never came through.
However, Solyndra's majority owner, billionaire George Kaiser, was a top fundraiser for the 2008 Obama-Biden campaign.
⢠During the U.S. auto bailout of 2008 and 2009, Obama's ally, the United Auto Workers, saw its unsecured claims win out over those of secured bondholders, an unprecedented alteration of bankruptcy law that violated bondholders' legal rights. The move was augmented by a politically motivated investigation against rival Toyota, with Transport Secretary Ray LaHood telling Americans not to buy Toyotas.
⢠The Health and Human Services Department gave 1,040 Section 2711 waivers on onerous ObamaCare regulations, which enabled labor unions and businesses to avoid the burdensome costs of the new law.
"Naturally, a disproportionate share of those receiving waivers are unions, some of Obama's biggest political allies," wrote IBD's David Hogberg in a blog post Monday.
The list goes on. If there's any pattern here, it's that of a president who makes a clear decision only if it's to help someone who can help him - or who already has.
That's not leadership. That's cronyism, and history is a harsh judge to such leaders.
Walker hires people with no competence or expertise - just political favors
[ In Reply To ..]Obama does not hire the janitor to provide input on job creation. Solar and alternative energy sources are investments--I don't think anyone with any business sense expects there to be any "profits" for quite some time, and would not even exist if government did not provide the stimulus. Note how the private sector jumped into the space program AFTER the government did the initial investment (after about 20 years). People with business knowledge understand this.
No, Obama just gives billions in stimulus - Indy
[ In Reply To ..]funds to a solar company because it is supposed to create jobs...they kept the money, jobs never materialized. People with business knowledge understand that cronyism is why...the BILLIONAIRE owner of said company was a contributor and fundraiser for Obama. Which begs the question...why give stimulus funds to a billionaire?? I thought you folks were AGAINST that.
It is amazing to me how you can defend that kind of practice when Obama does it, yet get obsessively upset when a Republican governor does it.
Cronyism is cronyism, and Wisconsin is not only paying state taxes for the 2 cronies of Walker's, Obama gave away tons of stimulus money (their tax dollars and yours and mine) to subsidize a company owned by a billionaire who never hired a soul (that is what the money was supposed to do).
Now when you are willing to call out cronyism wherever it exists, I will be willing to believe that you really are against cronyism and not just interested in trashing Republicans prior to the 2012 elections.
Thanks.
Right, Obama would do worse.. and speaking of - GetReal
[ In Reply To ..]"business knowledge" -he has NONE! ..and it shows.. had humiliated this country into the toilet with his nonsense junk policies.
