Wisconsin Governor Walker’s Wife Asking For $478,000 In Kitchen Renovations (VIDEO)

Tonette Walker, first lady of Wisconsin, and wife of Governor Scott Walker is making a big wish on her Christmas list this year. She is asking for $478,000 in renovation costs for the two kitchens in Wisconsin’s executive mansion. The request is being made less than a year after the budget fight that left many in Wisconsin feeling burned and disgusted by the back room bargaining with big business.

The nearly 100-year-old mansion has more than 16,000 square feet of living space including 34
rooms, 13 bathrooms, and 7 bedrooms. As wife of the governor, Tonette is charged with running the large home. Part of that includes heading up the Wisconsin Executive Residence Foundation (WERF). The Foundation is charged with preserving the mansion, including raising funds for projects that the group deems necessary. This time around, the project that the group is tackling is the main kitchen for the mansion, as well as the smaller kitchenette that’s for private use by the governor and his family. However, the private kitchen is not beings used, and not because it’s in such disrepair. The governor and his wife don’t actually live in the mansion. They live in their home in Wauwatosa, which is over an hour away from Madison, the State’s capitol city. Apparently, they brown bag their lunches there, but still insist on an upgrade to a kitchen that’s not even used.

1. Since it is taxpayer dollars, you must pee in a bottle and pass the drug/alcohol test monthly

you and your family will be subject to random drug screens just like the rest of the "welfare queens" in your state.

PS, how many hungry children and homeless families would that sum help?

2. Most of us in the state

have been trying to get legislation to sell the mansion since no one (til now) has been living there.
