Quick Hit – Scott Walker Recall Efforts
A few quick observations on the Scott Walker Recall effort: 1) I’ll just start with this; The mere fact that people are organizing, capturing signatures, and mobilizing the recall of the Governor is a joke. The recall option is out there for egregious behaviour (which I define as criminal, or darn near close to it), NOT for removing public officials because you don’t like legislation a politician puts up for vote. To do the latter opens a Pandora’s box that I think widens the political divide even more (and that is the LAST thing we need right now). 2) If this ballot ever sees the light of day, Walker WILL win. With that win, the public sector unions in Wisconsin and many other states will be crippled (which in my opinion is long overdue). The unions are, in poker terms, ALL IN, and I for one am glad their arrogance and stupidity has driven them to this joke of an effort. 3) Although it is a joke, it isn’t funny. Why you ask? Well read the attached article and think to yourself, what could we have done with the money that is being spent to facilitate this tom foolery? I hope we learn a valuable lesson from this – I know the unions will.
