Scott Walker Does It His Way

Gov. Scott Walker: Uniter, Divider
Part two of a three-part series
-------------------------------
By Bill Lueders

Mark Pocan has a gift for understatement. The Democratic state representative from Madison notes that most governors "take a little time to get to know the public and for the public to know them. They usually start with popular stuff."

He pauses a second, then delivers the punch line: "This governor didn't do that."

Instead, the initiatives Republican Gov. Scott Walker embraced during his first weeks in office spurred historic protests in 2011 and led to an ongoing recall attempt. Even the governor acknowledges he did a poor job of selling his changes regarding collective bargaining for public employees.
