Job Killer/Republican State Sen. Frank Lasee, Picks Winners (Big Oil) and Losers (Wind Energy).

It’s funny how Republican hypocrites are so nonchalant about their own flip-flopped positions.

How many times have we heard, "Regulations kill jobs. Frivolous lawsuits kill jobs."

Shamelessly, Sen. Frank Lasee has decided to flip-flop on the issue and use regulation and lawsuits to discourage wind development in Wisconsin. “Open for Business…If We Like You!” could be our new slogan. Can’t you just feel the uncertainty?

WPR: People who claim that wind turbines make them sick would be able to sue wind developers under a proposal introduced by a Republican state senator. Senator Frank Lasee's (la'-say) bill would allow families that claim to be physically or economically affected by wind turbines to sue the companies that own them and property owners hosting them.

I love the way Lasee tries so hard to defuse the pathetic turnaround he'd like no one to notice: 

"This is, unfortunately, a partisan issue. The Democrats don't seem to care because it's wind about any people they're harming, and we have some of the Republicans who support business at the cost of people and I think that's wrong."

Thank you Frank for admitting what your party is all about. Honesty is so refreshing, and so unexpected. Trying to kill wind energy is nothing new for Lasee, who seems hell bent on telling businesses nationwide they can't be certain of anything here:

Chris Kunkle represents the American Wind Energy Association in Wisconsin. He says Lasee's bill is par for the course.

"This is just another attempt from Senator Lasee to install a level of uncertainty across the industry. It's another piece of his ongoing hostility towards an industry that creates manufacturing, construction, operation and maintenance jobs all around the state."

Could it be that businesses aren't enamored with Walker’s ambiguous offer to help?
