Who is running the good ship Wisconsin?

[Jimbo S]

It's reality that our governor is giving our state part-time attention as he tackles a run for the White House, which means that the executive affairs of state devolve to his staff and to his cabinet. But, in Wisconsin in recent months, all indications point to the Walker cabinet being relatively inconsequential.

There is an irony to all this. During his very recent campaign for a second term, Gov. Walker said his primary focus after election would be governing Wisconsin, because that would be the best credential if he were to run for the presidency.

How's that working out for us?

Yes, I realize the author isn't a liberal. But still, I think a good read.

1. Walker is running it...

...aground.

[Half-Century Man]

2. Running? There is an active management of the state?

I thought we were fulfilling the traditional roles of footstools; to remain quietly underfoot so our user can reach for something higher. What management could be need for something whose total value is support by existence?

All we need to do is not collapse under the load above us, no matter what it is comprised of or how high it might be piled.

3. Looks like it's washing ashore, something that Snotty was very concerned about...

Well, when he was talking terra, terra, terra. He doesn't seem to mind that the state is rotting.

4. Actually we are better off

if he is running around the country and not running the state. Hes already run it into the ground!!!

5. Respectfully disagree......

If Snotty Scotty is off-the-clock, then we are left in the "tender" hands of Scott Fitzgerald and Robin Voss.....

I don't like that very much......

6. Per the article, I don't think it is better that he is out and about

Separate entities and groups in his office and elsewhere are piecemeal engineering policy with no connection to the people, including those that voted for him and agree with him.

This is not a good thing. Who really is calling the shots?

7. Who is calling the shots?

The Koch brothers of course, whether its Voss and Fitz or Walker, the puppet master is the same.

8. So it seems we agree that whether he is here or elsewhere

we don't really need him, do we?
