Scott Walker’s $30,000 dye job
What an absolute waste of taxpayer money…

The lake that’s home to the long-running Tommy Bartlett ski show has gone from pea green to a more aesthetically-pleasing color.

Five-hundred gallons of dye bought with nearly $30,000 in taxpayers’ money has turned the 267-acre Lake Delton to a tranquil, tourist-attracting aqua-blue.

Apparently in Scott Walker’s Wisconsin there’s simply no money to spend to fund our university and technical college systems, but apparently there’s plenty of money to spend on giving lakes a dye job to change their color to make them more aesthetically pleasing

Corporate socialism.

1. i thought the village paid for the dye job?

but maybe tommy, wilderness, and the other hotels could have kicked in the money.

the wilderness is advertising on http://www.chicagoprogressivetalk.com/

i guess they realize democrats actually spend money on waterpark vactions

2. Reminds me of the former Soviet Union

Soldiers at run-down military bases actually painted trees and did other "set dressing" to impress visiting apparatchiks.

Sounds like a country made for Scott Walker. He should visit.

4. I thought this was about his hair...

Hair dye and transplants to give him that Reagan look in time for 2016... was the first thing that came to mind.
