WI AG Calls for State Supremes to Intervene

Posted on April 9, 2011 | Leave a comment

[JURIST] Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen [official website] on Thursday filed a filed a Petition for Supervisory Writ [text, PDF] directly to the state Supreme Court over a circuit court judge’s temporary blocking [JURIST report] of a controversial bill that limits the rights of public employee unions. The suit claims that Dane County Circuit Court [official website] Judge Maryann Sumi did not have the constitutional authority to block the publication of the Budget Repair Bill [Senate Bill 11 text, PDF]. It then asks the Wisconsin Supreme Court [official website] to immediately take jurisdiction of the case and dismiss it. A Petition for Supervisory Writ is not a direct appeal of any lower court decision, but rather a procedure that starts a new action altogether [Wis. Stat. 809.70 text] because the petitioner claims a judge violated his or her constitutional authority.

“a judge violated his or her constitutional authority” well now, someone has it right.

Let’s wait and see if the state Supreme Court will agree.

Wisconsin Businesses Need Support

Some stand up to bullying – and see their business quadruple.

Spread the word. Stand up and be counted. Do not yield to thuggery.

UPDATEx9: Wisconsin Voting Irregularities

Posted on April 7, 2011 | Leave a comment

This just gets better and better. Practically a dead heat between Prosser and Kloppenburg.
And now a story there are 500 to 600 ballots found that might give Prosser the majority.

Investigations are underway,I am sure. Yeah.

And more on this from Hot Air.

The “I Stand With Walker” Facebook page.

Pundit Press has some very interesting items.

A request from Mark Belling who is a local radio host.

10,000 more votes than the County Exec gets??

UPDATE: An explanation, of sorts. Could be an honest mistake perhaps.

UPDATEx2: It’s official, Prosser won.

UPDATEx3: The loser demands a recount. Sure. Does she know math at all?
Oh, those protests in Madison? Cost those taxpayers millions of their taxes to the state.

UPDATEx4: Day 2 of Recount. Lots of interesting reading here.

UPDATEx5: Day 3 of Recounting.

UPDATEx6: Day 5 of Recounting. About where it should be.

UPDATEx7: Day 9 of recounting.

UPDATEx8: Day 13 of recounting. Since I have been an election judge, I note the instance here mentioned about allowing the recount to include an absentee ballot that should not have been (since it was not completed correctly and completely according to the form’s instructions).

UPDATEx9: It’s done. The recount completed yesterday (Friday) afternoon. Judge Prosser still won by over a 7,000 vote margin. Now. Send Kloppenburg the bill.

Our Way of Life and Freedom is at Risk

Posted on April 7, 2011 | Leave a comment

George Soros keeps funding meetings and organizations bent on “reforming” the entire, global, financial system.
Particularly, and especially the United States.

Think it’s bad now? Just you wait. The media, and government, doesn’t care about this – their silence implies consent and agreement.

America’s Energy Future

Posted on April 6, 2011 | 1 comment

Depends on to whom you speak, or listen to.

Like – our own U.S. President Barack Obama at a town hall about clean energy while visiting Gamesa Technology Corporation in Fairless Hills, Pennsylvania, today – April 6, 2011.

Oh – there’s more – at GatewayPundit. Jim Hoft points out that the POTUS was extolling this future energy source by the company (Spanish owned) that received a bailout.

Oh, also, don’t miss that last link (here it is also) that points out a report that windmills aren’t really that helpful. Useless, I think they said. But if you really want something to watch, try this – where a windmill destroys itself and adjacent property.

Not to mention the fact that when such machinery is installed in (much too) northern latitudes – ice formation can be extremely deadly, or just keep them from spinning. In any case, expensive windmills won’t offer much in the wrong place, if at all.

Hear that, Maryland Governor O’Malley? General Assembly?

Union Labelled by Maryland and California

Posted on April 4, 2011 | Leave a comment

Seems Governors in these states also ask/tell unions they have to pony up to help reduce the state deficits.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the country in an equally blue state, Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley faced 15,000 union workers massed a the state capitol in protest of O’Malley’s own budget proposals, which will make only a modest dent in the $19 billion in unfunded pension liabilities and $16 billion in retiree health care. O’Malley plaintive defense at the rally was notable as much for its chutzpah as for its liberal parochialism: “You will not find in Maryland the sort of Midwestern oppression that you find in Ohio and Wisconsin!”, he declared.

Imagine that.

Proof of Union Bosses Keeping Members Where They Are

Posted on April 4, 2011 | 1 comment

This truly a Piece Of Work In Progress, pun intended as that is also the blog’s name that holds the proof itself.

If you happen to be a member of any of those union organizations mentioned, I would be interested to read your comments about this.

Incorrect Mr. Schumer

Posted on April 3, 2011 | Leave a comment

Declining support for the Tea Party? Sorry there, Chuckles. You have it wrong.
Maybe from your point of view (which is, myopic, to be kind).

More of us voters will vote against you, I feel sure, because of your willingness to spend us into oblivion.

We are watching. And we do not like what we are seeing.

Remember in November 2012.

GM Bailout Cost Us $B

Posted on April 2, 2011 | Leave a comment

But, not according to the head bailout artist, Barack Obama.

Let’s see now: the March 16 Congressional Oversight report, estimates taxpayers will be out of $25 billion, during its bankruptcy, GM got a $45 billion tax break and a February piece on AutoBlog also confirms that GM will also get a $14 billion dollar domestic tax break.

That adds up to $84B.

Now I have a question for Congress: How much spending are you cutting from here on out, hhhmmm ?????

Maybe.
