Gov. Walker’s Special Jobs Session


What jobs?

What they did put on the table after acknowledging they really can’t create jobs, just make Wisconsin more job friendly: Reduced fees for shooting movies in the state; give property owners the right to shoot folk trespassing or just wondering on and getting hurt on their property; reduce interest rates for corporations having to pay court-ordered paying to consumers injured or killed by dangerous products; made it easier to pollute the state’s waterways with mining waste etc.; hunters can now buy beer at 6 am rather than wait till 8 am and the don’t have to shoot a doe before bagging the big buck; get rid of sex education and the list goes on.

As Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan hit the mark when he dubbed it the "anything but jobs" session. Wisconsin is increasingly becoming a national laughing stock, especially as the legislature secures the arrest of 18 people for carrying cameras in the Capitol at the same time that they move forward with a measure to allow concealed guns in the Capitol and right onto the Assembly floor. Or "We’re taking a step back to the Flintstone era," said Senator John Erpenbach.
