4. Maine Gov. Paul LePage. This is a man who does not have the qualifications to be the county dog catcher. Yet inexplicably, hes the governor of Maine. He is so petty that shortly after he took office he ordered murals representing working men and women taken down, as they were pro-union.
3. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. My governor. A couple of years ago he would have been No. 1 on this list. He gutted public unions in Wisconsin, made Wisconsin a right-to-work state, and slashed public education from kindergarten all the way to the university system. Along the way he has made it harder for people to vote and gerrymandered the state legislature. He is such a dishonest man that he cannot even tell the truth about his bald spot.
2. Florida Gov. Rick Scott. There are a lot of reasons for Gov. Scott to be on this list. But Theres only one reason he is No. 2 on this list: Tenet Healthcare failed to live up to Florida quality standards for children's heart surgery. Instead of fixing the problem, you know, like a responsible organization charged with the care of children should do, they donated $200,000 to Florida Republicans.
1. Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder. Where to start with Gov. Snyder? He has done so much damage to Michigan. Emergency Managers? Right-to-work? Or the myriad of other legislation that has passed on his watch which has damaged Michigan and has done nothing to serve its people?
Of course the reason for his No.1 spot on this list is the man-made disaster in Flint.

(1,706 posts)shutting down mental health hospitals, without going through the legislature - Braindead may not be the worst, but he ain't no prize either.
"Double dipping" because he's collecting his pension from a previous term as well as salary for this term.
