Gov. Walker isn’t going to wait for the recalls, or even his own party’s steamrolling rubber stamp machine in the legislature, he’s decided some things are too dangerous to debate before the people. So Walker’s “Open for Business” agenda is best handled by Executive Order.
Conservationvoters: Today it was revealed that Governor Walker intends to issue an Executive Order that could change the focus of the Department of Natural Resources from protecting Wisconsin’s air, water, and land to protecting Wisconsin’s polluting special interests. This announcement is the most extreme in a series of far-reaching conservation attacks by the Walker administration including:
- · Shutting down Wisconsin’s $400 million wind industry;
- · Rejecting $800 million in mass transit funding;
- · Providing campaign donors special exemptions to build on wetlands;
- · Allowing waterways to be contaminated by phosphorous; and
- · Eliminating statewide recycling requirements.
“The fact that Governor Walker is choosing to initiate this drastic, extreme measure as an Executive Order tells us that it is nothing more than a power grab.
And even though the state Wisconsinites expected their lawmakers to represent them, little did they know that they were merely proxy voters, for big business. I hope your sitting down:
In addition, job retention and pay for DNR employees would be based on the satisfaction of “customers” rather than on the employee’s success in protecting natural resources and public health, making DNR employees beholden to the entities they are supposed to watchdog, rather than Wisconsin citizens.
