You know Scott, that's why we have elections.
WSJ: Walker told reporters it was "unfortunate" that Dane County Circuit Judge Rebecca St. John lost Tuesday's election (to) attorney Rhonda Lanford, who used the Walker connection to attack St. John during the campaign. Walker said, "Unfortunately I think that politics has trumped that."Could someone tell Walker how elections work. Conversely, you could say Justice Roggensack won because of her support of Walker, but that's okay. Channel 3000:
The Republican governor said he may just allow judicial positions in heavily Democratic Dane County to remain vacant until there's an election. "In the future it probably doesn't make a lot of sense to try and go through that appointment process and make someone who's a good judge — or a good lawyer — be in a position like that," Walker said. "It just doesn't make any sense to drag people through that."
Under state law, judicial appointees must run to retain their seats in the following spring election.
Revenge by this petty dictator is also being doled out in predominantly Democratic Milwaukee as well, as explained by Police Chief Ed Flynn:
WISN: Gov. Scott Walker has proposed lifting the residency rules statewide in his budget. Chief Ed Flynn said the measure has nothing to do with the budget and everything to do with the last election.
"This has nothing to do with state budget. It is not a budgetary issue. It's a local governance issue. There is no compelling state interest at stake. It's foolish to impose this on," Flynn said. "There are other ways to pay back the mayor for having the temerity to run for governor. You don't have to attack the viability of your central city."
