Rebecca Kleefisch should be doing more as acting Governor of Wisconsin!

I mean, the state is in critical condition, and she is ignoring her constitutional obligation to step up as the acting Governor while Scott what's-his-name is globetrotting with his entourage on his private jet (at the Western Wall most recently).

Could she just maybe address some of the issues that are tearing the state apart? OK, she likes hunting, so how about for starters dealing with the many issues in the "budget" that threaten her love of the outdoors?

The last Captain tried to scuttle our ship, and to make it even worse we're heading for an iceberg, so as first mate it's your job to save us, Becky.


From the Wisconsin Constitution:
"If the governor is absent from this state, impeached, or from mental or physical disease, becomes incapable of performing the duties of the office, the lieutenant governor shall serve as acting governor for the balance of the unexpired term or until the governor returns, the disability ceases or the impeachment is vacated."

And we're in stormy waters without a captain, or a rudder, or something.

Her focus is on trying to convince those businesses to move operations to the capitalist utopia that is Fitzwalkerstan. I wonder how that's been going?
