Isthmus newspaper and the Wisconsin Associated Press today filed a lawsuit against Gov. Scott Walker over his office's failure to respond to open records requests regarding emails received by his office.

"The governor said he had gotten more than 8,000 emails as of Feb. 17, with 'the majority' urging him to 'stay firm' on his budget repair bill," says Isthmus News Editor Bill Lueders. "We're just trying to see these largely supportive responses."

The lawsuit, filed this afternoon in Dane County court, names as defendants Gov. Walker and the office of the governor.

Isthmus made its request by hand-delivered letter on Feb. 18, a day after Walker referred to these 8,000 emails and about an hour before he held another press conference saying the number had since swelled to 19,000, again mostly positive. The paper followed this with two communications with Walker spokesperson Cullen Werwie (the second of which, on Feb. 24, was also sent to Brian Hagedorn, the governor's legal counsel). Both asked for an update on the status of the original request.

1. Hosni Walker is such a BAD liar! I had hundreds of sophomore students

over the years who knew how to tell lies designed to NOT catch them up than he does!

Stupid, crazed, and blindly ambitious - what a great guy!

2. He's going to be the big time loser in all of this - he already is.

5. Calling Walker Hosni is an insult to Mubarak. At least Mubarak stood tall

for years in support of Mideast peace. This loser only stands for Koch-itis. There is not a noble bone in his onery frame.

6. You're right, of course.

Walker is what's left on your shoe after you scrape the shit from it - just stubborn little disgusting shitty bits of something ugly, low, and sickening.
