I thought one of the more interesting parts of the interview with Governor Walker was where he suggests that when he is re-elected there will be an appetite for overhauling the recall laws in Wisconsin. Even though Wisconsinites are pretty cheesed off with the whole recall process, such a change would be pretty controversial.
Cheesed off
The state is embroiled in a bitter dispute over its governor’s fate
May 19th 2012 | MADISON | from the print edition
SOME call it a civil war. Others say that the debate over the future of Wisconsin’s Republican governor, Scott Walker, is now so rancorous that neighbours, families, and co-workers are refusing to discuss the subject. The only thing that everyone agrees on in Wisconsin is that they will be glad when the recall election is over on June 5th. [More...]
I am British, but from everything I've read on the subject I hope Walker wins. I thought our politics were dysfunctional, but the idea that you can recall an elected official in the middle of his term because you don't like his policies seems utterly ludicrous. Criminal behavior is one thing, but all this chap is doing is taking the state in a new direction which is essentially what he said he would do as far as I understand.
