He told the public via a fall guy [Mike Huebsch] that the state would be on the hook to pay for losses the Milwaukee Casino might<br /> incur as a result of Doyle's 2005 contract with the Potawatomi tribe and that was why he was rejecting the Kenosha Casino. Yet his $2.2 million legal team whom he hired to advise him said there was little danger of the state having to pay any money to the other tribes and in fact the Kenosha Casino economic and job benefits would far out weigh any costs to the state. Once again Walker lied to the citizens of this state and the media looks the other way as the public is kept in the dark relative the truth of Walker's actions! When does this lying clown have to face the public and be accountable for his deceptions and lies not to mention the financial costs to the taxpayers? prep-hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02722631142024422312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-9784995977587599372015-08-29T11:13:34.446-05:002015-08-29T11:13:34.446-05:00And let's not forget all of the added costs du... And let's not forget all of the added costs due to Walker's corruption and pig-headedness that we've seen in the past 10 days. From $10 million to Talgo for trains that were never used, to $2.2 million to a consultant on the Kenosha Casino who was promptly ignored, to <a href="http://www.wkow.com/story/29910483/2015/08/28/state-will-have-to-pay-retroactive-overtime-to-walker-security-team-dating-back-to-may-2013" rel="nofollow"> the 2 1/2 years of retro OT costs that Wisconsin taxpayers are now on the hook for, as the "Unintimidated" Governor had his security detail follow him around the country on his many taxpayer-funded trips.</a><br /><br /> And who pays the price for this malfeasance? Public education, and local services. It's never the arrogant bastards who caused these unnecessary expenses.<br /><br /> <br /> Jake formerly of the LPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660401299391001751noreply@blogger.com
