Walker says he has faith in voters ahead of recalls

Gov. Scott Walker said Thursday the recall elections are “out of our hands” at this point, and he has faith in the state’s voters. “I believe if given the facts they’re going to make good decisions,” Walker said after a ceremony opening the State Fair in Milwaukee. “Sometimes they’re going to be decisions that side with me, sometimes they’re going to be with others, but I’m going to respect their decision.”

Several weeks ago Walker said once the citizens of the state realized the sky wasn’t falling they’d begin to see the reasonable effects of the budget repair bill and the changes to collective bargaining. “I think slowly they will see, and overall the school programs have gotten better,” Walker said.

Walker said he was aware of efforts to put new restrictions on recall efforts, but hasn’t specifically looked into it because “if I’m going to err, I’m going to err on the side of giving people more power.”

Walker gave a short address to open the fair, but was drowned out at times by protesters chanting “shame.” One protester repeatedly called Walker a “weasel” as he left the stage, while another shouted “Sic semper tyrannis!” The phrase is Latin for "thus always to tyrants."
