Scott Walker had a bill-signing today, but something tells me this isn’t one he’s going to be trumpeting too loudly out on the campaign trail:

The legislation commits $250 million in public money to the team’s new arena over the next 20 years.

The bill was passed by the Senate and Assembly last month on bipartisan votes.

The governor, a 2016 Republican presidential candidate, had signaled that he was unlikely to use his partial veto power to carve up the legislation when he signs it.

2. If Scotty Had Been A Democrat

If Scott Walker had been a Democrat, I don't doubt he'd be under indictment. In the meantime, Koch money and smug Republicans insure that 'IOKALAYAAR' applies.

The right-wing voters and the apathetic non-voters got what they voted for.
