Every day Gov. Walker is Governor, he can auction off more of the public trust to the Koch brothers and the top 1%. Every day Gov. Walker is Governor, he can do more massive damage to "capital," clean air, clean water, and the rest of Wisconsin's natural resources. Every day Gov. Walker is Governor, makes the clean-up, that much more difficult.John Caspernoreply@blogger.com
