"Gov. Walker has shown time and again that his first priority isn't the people of Wisconsin; it is his political career." That's pretty much the general Republican attitude, isn't it?

COMMENTS: 
*  "Wisconsin's middle class is shrinking faster than in any other state"  I think that says it all..
*  Unions don't outsource, employers do. Right to work states' average income is 3.2% LESS than those in non-RTW states.
*  Hey Scotty, where are the 250K jobs you promised in your first term? We didn't forget.
*  I am a conservative in Wisconsin and EVERYTHING that article says about Walker is true.
*  The people that today, think Walker did good by lowering wages, and destorying education in Wisconsin, will soon see, that industry will not come back, because people are forced to work for less, and work longer hours, just the people will not live as well. which is what Republicans want, more money for business, and less for the workers.
*  I live in Wisconsin. Lastfall I voted straight Republican woth the exception of Walker. He is absolutely destroying this state. There are no less than three websites dedicated to his fraud and corruption.   ...................................................................................................................................................................
Gov. Walker leaves a wake of damage: Another view
Wisconsin has become a petri dish for extreme conservative policies.
By Peter Barca, July 13, 2015

Gov. Scott Walker is not even in the mainstream among Republicans, let alone the people of the United States.

Under Gov. Walker, Wisconsin has become a petri dish for extreme conservative policies. Under his watch, the state has seen unthinkably extreme education cuts, seismic erosion of labor rights and dangerous corrosion of Wisconsin's tradition of clean, open and transparent government.

As Gov. Walker positions himself as the most conservative Republican in the presidential primary field, he is leaving a wake of destruction in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin voters and even legislative Republicans are growing tired of Gov. Walker's divisive policies. The latest Marquette poll found Walker's approval rating has plummeted to 41%. Last week, a dozen Republicans and every Democrat voted against his budget because it was too extreme.

Gov. Walker has shown he will say anything to position himself in the mainstream during election season but then governs as an extremist. Here are just a few examples of Gov. Walker misleading voters:

•In 2009, during his first campaign for governor, Walker pledged to negotiate with state labor unions and then in his words "dropped the bomb" as governor by dismantling collective bargaining.

•In September 2014, Gov. Walker promised that "right-to-work" legislation would not come to his desk in this term of the legislature. Then three months into that term, he signed that bill into law — ramming it through the legislature in a matter of days.

•In a campaign ad in October 2014, Gov. Walker looked into the camera and spoke about leaving the final decision on abortion to a woman and her doctor. He then demanded that Republican legislative leaders deliver an extreme 20-week abortion bill to his desk that included no exceptions for rape or incest — which is what they did this past week.

Gov. Walker has shown time and again that his first priority isn't the people of Wisconsin; it is his political career. His policies are to the far right of the Republican Party. I believe the people of Wisconsin — and the country — deserve better.
