Julaine Appling, president of Wisconsin Family Council says,
“Governor Walker’s proclamation rightly identifies the benefits of
marriage and the costs of marital breakdown, not only for the men, women
and children directly involved, but also for the entire state.” The
proclamation reads in part, “Marriage breakdown takes a toll on the
emotional, physical and financial well-being of the entire family, and
increases the public cost for human service programs.”
The difference is West bend is just filled with crazy people where Waukesha is filled with a group of hard core right wingers who think that they are superior to the rest of us and that rules do not matter. Witness the latest in the long lines of republican DUI and name dropping - Rachel Pecor!
While Ms Tarantino is busy knocking on doors, her "high powered republican campaign strategist" and former Kleefisch recall campaign manager Rachel Pecor is driving around the streets of Waukesha drunk! Was Pecor off to yet another fundraiser or Waukesha astroturf meeting? not sure but we do know where she was going. To pick up Tarantino's daughter from dance! All of the people that have given money to Jeanne Tarantino can rest assured, the money they have donated to tarantino is being put to good use, paying a national republican strategist to get drunk and chauffer her kids around!
Rachel Pecor was pulled over after she veered into the wrong lane.
She was on her way to pick up the child of a state assembly candidate
when police noticed something was wrong.
It's around 8:15 p.m. Tuesday night and Pecor was behind the wheel of this car, crossing the center line in Pewaukee.
"Hi. What are you doing? You're all the way on the wrong side of the road," the officer said.
Don't worry, Pecor knows how things work in America, so she starts dropping names:
That's when Pecor starts to play the political game.
“My candidate is running for the assembly here," she answered.
That candidate, Jeanne Tarantino, is running for state assembly. Her
child was the one Pecor was on her way to pick up from dance class. The
officer had Pecor to pull around the corner to a safe area, but it soon
becomes clear she's not in control. She has no license, and the officer
notices alcohol on her breath.
Then come the lies:
"That was the other question that i had was how much you've had to be drinking," the officer said.
"I have not been drinking," Pecor answered, to which the police officer replied, "That's not true.”
So the officer starts a field sobriety test. He has Pecor walk toward
him....she's on the other side, but you see another officer reach to
catch her and pecor try to explain.
"Sorry the heels," she said.
When pecor finally submits to a breath test, the results aren't good.
In the end, officers found 3 empty vodka bottles in the car.
3 empty vodka bottles, if your going to party, do it right I guess! Then it hits her that she has a good gig travelling around the country and running campaigns while poor schleps give her money, that she does not want to lose:
"I don't care what you do to me. Just don't let this become a campaign issue, please," she said.
Then finally shedoes what all politicians, who cant stop talking whenveer they see a camera, do when they get in trouble. She refused to comment!
Pecor declined to comment about this arrest and calls to the Tarantino
campaign were not returned tonight. Pecor got a ticket. If she'd had
Tarantino's daughter in the car when she was stopped, it would have been
a felony.
