Outgoing Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) on Tuesday hinted that he would sign the legislation that the Republican state legislature has crafted in order to curb some of the incoming Democratic governor’s authority.


In a Facebook post, Walker outlined the “criteria” he would use to consider the legislation by explaining why certain aspects of the GOP power-grab are “reasonable.”

“Does it improve transparency? Will it make it easier for people to know what is going on in their government?” he said of the legislation. “For example, one of the bills calls for a report on people who receive a pardon by the governor. It seems reasonable that the public should know if a convicted felon is pardoned of his or her crime.”

While Walker doesn’t say outright that he plans to support state Republican’s efforts, it has been speculated that Walker would endorse the bills from the get-go.

4. Donate to the Wisconsin, Michigan and NC Dems

I will and it ain’t easy. Also you can boycott Walgreens

Walgreens also has a tougher side, one you won’t see in those ads. To protect a tax break, the company has allied itself with Wisconsin’s brutally partisan Republican Party. That party is now in the midst of a power grab, stripping authority from Wisconsin’s governor and attorney general solely because Republicans lost those offices last month. The power grab comes after years of extreme gerrymandering, which lets Republicans dominate the legislature despite Wisconsin being a closely divided state.

…

So you might think that an organization that claims to care about community values would speak up. But Walgreens has not. Neither have other corporate supporters of Wisconsin Republicans, like Microsoft, Dr Pepper Snapple, J.P. Morgan Chase or Humana. It’s yet another example — alongside soaring C.E.O. pay and stagnant worker wages — of corporations abdicating the leadership role they once played in America.
