Lawrence O'Donnell Touts Bernie Sanders, Calls Scott Walker's Stadium Subsidy 'Bad Socialism'

[HereSince1628]

1. Meet WI Sen Lena Taylor (D-Milwaukee), Stadium Funding Supporter:

Heroic member of the WI 14, aka, the senators who left the state to prevent a quorum that could pass draconian anti-labor bill.


I'm not a fan of taxpayer supported sports stadiums, although some, well at least one, Democratic primary candidate need large venues for public rallies. But lots of folks in the media, in their eagerness to taint Walker, aren't telling the entire story..

Milw stadium funding had/has democratic support. The project proposal now goes before the Milw Common Council where it must be approved before ground-breaking can take place.

Democratic Mayor, and former Dem Congressman Tom Barrett, also a supporter of the taxpayer funding, believes the council will approve the project.

It's great fun to blame Walker for this, but the stadium project including it's taxpayer funding had democratic support at all levels.

The evil Fitzgerald, senate majority leader and proponent of the 'stop sending money to Milwaukee' crowd in the legislature, had to be dragged into this.
