Major Conflict of Interest in Wisconsin- Fitzgeralds control Senate, Assembly, and State Patrol
Edited on Wed Mar-02-11 05:04 PM by revolutionnow45

Wisconsin State Patrol on guard at Wisconsin Capitol....

"When asked to stand guard at the doors that duty was turned over to the Wisconsin State Patrol because our deputies would not stand and be palace guards," Mahoney said. "I refused to put deputy sheriffs in a position to be palace guards."

State Patrol is newly under the command of Stephen Fitzgerald, one of Governor Scott Walker's appointments. Stephen is the father of Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald.



There is a serious conflict of interest here...the political system of the state of Wisconsin has been taken over by one family, the Fitzgeralds, on behalf of Walker who appointed one, most likely because his two sons already work for Walker in the Senate and Assembly.


The Courts have ordered the Capitol to be opened, Walker and the State Patrol are breaking the law. (They are allowing Walker's people through to fill the hall for his speech.)


What will the citizens of Wisconsin do next?

5. No checks & balances left in Wisconsin. Even the state attorney general is a RepubliCorporate tool.
