1. i think wisconsin, while what scott walker is doing is awful, is shadowing
other states like Michigan where it seems the 'small government' crowd has taken over and looks to use big government to seize towns and dissolve them if they want. sounds like small government to me doesn't it to you too. (sarcasm in case it's needed) i mean, here in ny there has been a guy going around forcing towns to put measures on the ballot to reduce the size of their councils etc. he had to take them to court to do it, but people got the chance to vote for this, and in many cases they did vote to reduce the size of their local government. but when it came to combining cities and towns people tend to vote NO. they like to keep their towns and cities etc. the idea that one person could appoint someone to summarily decide to dissolve whole towns and governments that have been voted on by the people is insane!! Is this what people voted for? is this what they wanted?
