Super Steel couldn't give the product the state wanted, so Talgo was the only bidder.<br /><br /> And the talking point on Potawatomi is absurd (especially whwn the compacts were redone to fill a budget hoke McCallum laid on Doyke''s desk) and it is a documented falsity that a Kenosha casino would have been a big hit to the state''s coffers.<br /><br /> And none of those items excuse the stupid decisions Walker made, which have given the state ZERO and cost taxpayers millions of dollars.<br /><br /> Lay off the AM radio and OWN YOUR BOY'S FAILURE. 3/5 of the state already has, but I understand that it takes a bit longer for reality to seep through into bubble-worldJake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426800777521979578.post-13618663025368268992015-08-25T19:07:32.492-05:002015-08-25T19:07:32.492-05:00Guess you forgot Jake how Doyle screwed over Super...Guess you forgot Jake how Doyle screwed over Super Steel, who the hell would do a no bid contract?

What I find amazing is the short-term memory of the average WisGOP. They only seem to care about one-day headlines and poses that work for talk radio the next day, but the overall results truly don't matter to these people.<br /><br /> I just want to know why the average voter doesn't make them pay for the extra costs they are forced to pay as a result of this arrogant short-sightedness.Jake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426800777521979578.post-87002793667859032342015-08-23T08:54:56.213-05:002015-08-23T08:54:56.213-05:00When Walker was Milwaukee County Executive he gave...When Walker was Milwaukee County Executive he gave the employees 26 furlough days per year.
