Gov. Scott Walker is kicking off his second term in office with a three-pronged attack on accountability, oversight and economic sense.
Step one: Solidify the conservative majority on the Supreme Court through arbitrary new rules.
Step two: Dismantle the Government Accountability Board either completely or by inserting partisan appointees into positions of power.
Step three: Further merge and cripple important state agencies and replace any minority party oversight by removing elected board members entirely and replacing them with yet more political appointees.

I can think of no other reason than a reckless attempt to further weaken the very government that cuts their paychecks (and paves their roads, and secures their communities, and cares for their elderly, and puts out their fires), in the hopes that they'll do so much damage it will take generations to undo and set things right again.
Interesting that the far right-wing Urinal/Sentinel would allow this editorial to be published. The Urinal still holds to their endorsement of Squatty Wanker.
