As Governor will you support Senator Herb Kohl's endeavor to build a new arena in Milwaukee?

Adam Wienieski May 6, 2012 at 12:54 am

Final score: Partisan rhetoric 10, workable solutions 0.
Sarah, could you at least pretend to be a journalist for the next interview? Q. If you roll back collective bargaining reforms for public union employees, as promised, how will Wisconsin taxpayers pay the extra $1 billion dollars it has saved? Follow up: Do you think property taxes in Wisconsin are too high, too low, or just right? Q. Since Scott Walker took office in January, 2011, unemployment in the Milwaukee-Waukesha-West Allis area dropped from 7.9 percent to 7.3 percent with an additional 7,000 people employed. Does Scott Walker get the credit? Follow up: When a large Wisconsin employer who has been in the state for decades like Schield Family Brands or Wausau Paper closes a plant in 2011 is it Scott Walker's fault?

That was a little harsh Adam. You know how this fluffing works. Liberals, especially Barrett, won't even make eye contact with you if you plan to ask them real questions. Spineless, and clueless, the whole lot.
I like Mau's question. I would put it this way though, "When you're still mayor next year, will you be pushing for a giant waste of taxes for a bad basketball team?"

What a weak man this goof is, complete milquetoast, no leadership, no spine....oh, typical liberal male eunuch.

Mr. Barrett:
1. This "Civil War" was started by your party!!! the recall Walker website was created month before Governor Walker was sworn in. see source below 2. You had an opportunity to talk about YOUR record as Mayor, why didnt you?? OH YEAH, it is horrific, I guess continue to Walker bash 3. The Job losses which you are discussing came out of your city WI job losses came from Milwaukee: http://www.jsonline.com/business/metro-milwaukee-lost-4400-jobs-in-march-state-reports-q855m0a-148913245.html Recall Walker website: http://whois.domaintools.com/recallscottwalker.com

Don't forget that stellar Milwaukee Public Schools 42 percent high school graduation rate. This after education spending has gone up every year for 30 years.
Big city liberal morons have run our school boards for 40 years and all we have to show for it is the world's most expensive failure factory.

Well said Andrew and Adam

Dorothy May 7, 2012 at 03:53 pm

Or how much sewage our wonderful mmsd has dumped into lake Michigan in the last 48 hours? Ask those lefty environmentalists about that once and watch them change the subject...

Brett bushman May 7, 2012 at 09:16 pm

Notice he failed to bring up collective bargaining AGAIN even though that's what the last 16 months of crying have been all about...

Brett bushman May 7, 2012 at 09:22 pm

How can the unemployment rate go down when the state loses jobs? How does that math work? 17,000 of the jobs "lost" were public union employees retiring so their precious pensions and health care couldn't be touched. Media wouldn't dare let you know that...

Tom Barrett May 7, 2012 at 11:02 pm

Is this BAAAAAAAAAAD????

America's jobless mayor.
How's Barrett doing on improving the execrable Milwaukee Schools? There's been one improvement, no poop in the lake this weekend.

What's YOUR plan Tom? How have you demonstrated success in your past performance that would cause us to vote for you?

The U.S. Congress is the legislative branch of the United States government. Congress consists of two chambers, the Senate and the House of Representatives. Senators are elected every 6 years. Representatives, commonly called Congressmen or Congresswomen, are elected every 2 years. To become a Congressman, follow these steps. Thanks a lot.
