Angel-Soft? Oh no. I am a devout Scott consumer. Coors? Forgetaboutit. Sargento? Whatever. Johnsonville? Whatev. What a joke.

hey-governor-walker-wheres-my-election - Today, Assembly candidate Andy Heidt sent a letter to the Governor asking him to schedule a special election in order to fill the seat vacated by Rep Joe Parisi after Parisi was elected as Dane County Executive.





What a joke.

I'm not familiar with this issue of this special election. Is it Walker's duty to provide for the election, or as I would logically presume, an election board after at least one other candidate was certified to run against this guy. I scanned the article you linked but didn't see those obvious points mentioned. Since this happened only a few weeks ago, I would think the citizens of that district have the right to at least have a choice beside one candidate. Or is that too much to ask?

Scottie has been busy. Yep, time for government employee appreciation week. Most government employees seem to be in agreement on where Scottie can shove his awards.

Meanwhile, Scottie continues his "assault on democracy, local control and working families," passing a law that strips towns and cities from voting into law sick-pay guarantees for their employees.

Darn those pesky unions and laws. So inconvenient to absolute corporate control.
