In the spring when the job data supported his claim that his plan was working Governor Walker loved these numbers. Now that the data is showing the biggest job losses in the nation he’s blaming the numbers and calling them unreliable.

We will not be meeting tonight due to the weather, stay home and stay safe.
On Tuesday just after midnight the effort to recall Governor Scott Walker began. There is a lot of work to be done collecting the signatures needed to begin putting Wisconsin back on track. The best way to get involved is through A United Wisconsin To Recall Walker. The first week of the recall will be featuring a rally in Madison at the State Capitol building. Pre-rally events begin at 11:00am and the rally begins at 1:00pm. Buses will be available from D.C. 48 at 3427 W. St. Paul Ave. departing this Saturday morning at 10:00am and returning by 5:00pm.

Dane County Judge MaryAnn Sumi today issued a permanent injunction against Governor Walker’s collective bargaining bill. The bill is dead until taken up by the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Judge Sumi’s decision (PDF File) states that there was, “clear and convincing evidence” that the Republicans violated the State’s open meeting laws with their swift passage of the bill.
From We Are Wisconsin, “As we speak, Scott Walker and his allies in the Legislature are preparing amendments to the state budget that strip collective bargaining rights as they rush to implement their radical agenda – even though courts are currently blocking Walker’s illegal power grab. We need you at our May 14 rally at the Capitol and to say ‘don’t you dare!’ to their radical plan.“
