Hell freezes over! Grothman disses Walker plan


Lucipher's probably strapping on his ice skates right now. In what seems like an absolutely stunning move, my senator, Sen. Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend), called Governor Walker's "Jobs Funds Now" program "the most dubious giveaway I've seen since I've been in the legislature." (JS Online)

Um, and he's right. Walker's plan (to create jobs, of course), as described by Kathleen Gallagher of the Journal Sentinel, "would provide hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks to insurance companies, while giving control of a $250 million fund to out-of-state financial management companies that would not have to pay back the fund's principal and would keep up to 80% of its profits." I think that's like giving money to your rich brother in the hopes that he'll give some of it to the other brother that really needs it.

Grothman cited similar effort failed Republican legislation from 2003 in his testimony to a joint committee last week. The mere fact Grothman (as conservative and anti-everything as any Wisconsin legislator since possibly Joe McCarthy) was the sole objector out of 26 people testifying, really is amazing. ....................

I suspect he is trying to save his political hide...In two months there are going to be at least five less Republicans in the Wisconsin Senate..

One of the few failed attempts. He's in a very red district and thus why his dissing Wanker is so amusing and surprising. I think it's more that his wheels haven't been greased enough.

Wear it proudly Grothman, but I don't think your protesting will quell your recall.

on edit:
I can't believe he's not successfully being recalled.
