Wisconsin Gov. Walker: Unions ‘want me dead’



No, Scottie, just in jail. Or, at minimum, out of public office.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/jan/5/wisconsin-gov-scott-walker-unions-want-me-dead/

“They want me dead. I don’t think that’s an exaggeration,” Mr. Walker said in an exclusive interview with The Washington Times after a roundtable discussion Thursday at the American Enterprise Institute.

The governor’s prospects for re-election likely will be complicated by an ongoing investigation into allegations of corruption among county workers during Mr. Walker’s time as the Milwaukee County executive.

The Associated Press reported Wednesday that two people, including a close aide to Mr. Walker when he served as county executive, were arrested on felony theft charges Thursday.

Kevin Kavanaugh, Mr. Walker’s appointee to the Milwaukee County Veteran Service Commission, was charged with one felony embezzlement charge of taking more than $10,000 from a business and four felony counts of fraudulent writings by a corporate officer.


Great. "They want him dead" is going to be their new talking point.

ugh.

I'd like to see him out of office and jailed, but dead? Nah. I don't care that much about him personally to give a crap what happens to him after his political career turns to dust.

wisconsin does not have capital punishment--a ideal that i support.....

you will prob be given a nice pension and the chance to get outrageous speaking fees
from your crony buddies.

Actually if i were a betting man
Sentry Insurance in stevens point wisconsin is a place where lots of high ranking wis pols end up.
