To throw salt in our Wisconsin wounds, Miller's regional office left Milwaukee and relocated in Chicago.
It is not trade when a London based company buys beer headquartered in London. It is also not surprising, that Scott Walker would once again do his best to help out a company not headquartered in Wisconsin. "

When you were elected there were 2 referendum questions on the ballot.
One was, do you support raising the minimum wage. The other was do you support accepting federal Medicare money. Which would have helped tens of thousands of Wisconsinites to have access to healthcare.
Both these referendums were voted "yes" overwhelmingly by the citizens of WI.
Why do you not do the will of the people on these issues? Why do you continue to block these issues?Who do you really work for?

(6,622 posts)At least six people who have worked for you have been convicted of crimes relating to their work for your administrations. Some of those people are in prison. Some of the crimes were committed within mere meters of your own office. Whether you were oblivious or complicit, doesn't this show a weakness in leadership?
OK, it might be off-topic, but I would sure like to hear it asked!
