"You would think that being Governor or Wisconsin he would understand that not only is Miller now owned by a joint venture called SAB Miller with the headquarters in London, England, United Kingdom. To throw salt in our Wisconsin wounds, Miller's regional office left Milwaukee and relocated in Chicago.

It is not trade when a London based company buys beer headquartered in London. It is also not surprising, that Scott Walker would once again do his best to help out a company not headquartered in Wisconsin. "

Any fact checking and tweaking will be appreciated..........


When you were elected there were 2 referendum questions on the ballot.

One was, do you support raising the minimum wage. The other was do you support accepting federal Medicare money. Which would have helped tens of thousands of Wisconsinites to have access to healthcare.

Both these referendums were voted "yes" overwhelmingly by the citizens of WI.

Why do you not do the will of the people on these issues? Why do you continue to block these issues?Who do you really work for?

Why does he think any international company would do business here after he broke the contract with Talgo?

Good question from the comment section of the story in the JS on Walker's London trip. Maybe if enough people suggested it...

At least six people who have worked for you have been convicted of crimes relating to their work for your administrations. Some of those people are in prison. Some of the crimes were committed within mere meters of your own office. Whether you were oblivious or complicit, doesn't this show a weakness in leadership?

OK, it might be off-topic, but I would sure like to hear it asked!
