Listening to the Milwaukee broadcast of the game, I heard an Anti-Scott Walker ad. They were

talking about his use of a state plane, and I assumed it would be about misusing State moneys, but the truth was much funnier. He flies because nobody can use the roads.

Wisconsin's roads and bridges are deteriorating quickly since Walker keeps cutting taxes, so the group STOP (Safe Transportation Over Poltics) has remained pot-holes to "Scott-Holes." Their website attempts to documents all the scott-holes in the state.

Some examples of Scott-holes:

Look at this gem on Highway 131 in Crawford county…this will cause a front end alignment! Nice job Mr. Walker for taking 90 million out of the DOT fund for your Foxconn donors so we can’t fix this!! Maybe I should call Domino’s???

This Scotthole was right next to our house all last summer:/ I think the only reason they fixed it was because it filled with rainwater & neighbor kids were playing in it like a pool.

Tony Evers stated (10-5-18 at a private fundraiser) that he and Mandela Barnes drove from Madison to Green Bay for a meeting that Walker also attended. Walker took a plane. Tony and Mandela attempted to video tape their car ride, it was so bumpy from all the "scottholes" the videotape was jumping all over! Great and true story....

Walker needs to hit the road!

GOTV!!!!!

Just fill 'em with all the roadkill deer carcasses that WI-DNR no longer bothers to pick up.
