At ALEC meeting in California, Scott Walker touts Wisconsin laws

http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/scott-walker-in-california-at-alec-meeting-b99543477z1-318296781.html

In California on Thursday, presidential candidate and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker addressed the annual meeting of a conservative state lawmakers' group, touting laws adopted in his state that the group is working to pass elsewhere.

The American Legislative Exchange Council has backed a number of the policies passed by Walker and GOP lawmakers, such as limiting liability for businesses in lawsuits and prohibiting unions and employers from requiring labor dues as a condition of employment, also known as right-to-work.

ALEC brings together lawmakers and outside groups such as corporations to advance a conservative agenda in statehouses around the country, drawing praise from Republicans and criticism from Democrats. "I'm for real reform in Washington. I know it can work. It's worked in our state," Walker told a cheering audience Thursday.

...

Walker also touted his support for taxpayer funding for private voucher schools, a longtime priority for ALEC.

I don't know how he sleeps at night after being such a dick about everything. I hope he fails miserably in the primary.

enchanted with him at the moment. He goes there and brags repeatedly about his so-called good things he has done and they believe.
