Gasoline used to be transported to Green Bay via a pipeline, from the 1950's, which leaked and Walker decided to not repair it. So every drop of gasoline and diesel fuels are shipped from Milwaukee via trucks. This raised the cost per gallon to nearly 5¢ per gallon for Northeastern Wisconsin consumers.
The GOP is certainly not going to let any legislation fix or replace that pipeline, as the trucking industry's donations are too large to aggravate.

The broken pipeline may have never been checked, emptied and made safe for ground water contamination. The GOP's assault on open records made sure we may never know what that one problem is doing now, years later.

Voters can, and should know that voting to purge, is not to legally kill off the political party, but only to give notice, that we do want and need conservative voices in governance. But that we also can, emphatically denounce, the current extreme right wing ideologies that obstruct daily social and economic functions.

Voter do have the power to require any candidate to fully disclose their intentions as candidates, using the media, the primary elections and more importantly, the party nomination processes to reduce what I can only describe as very bad actors.
