Given the provisions
in the Walker bill to allow him to sell the public utilities, should we start calling it the "Enron Bill" or something like that?

1. Good idea, but I think it needs something catchier and closer to home.

I really am surprised more hasn't been made of this, or of the various power grabs that are in the bill (Walker wants the right to unilaterally change Medicaid programs.)

2. The advantage of Enron
is that I'm pretty sure it was well known nationwide.

Medicaid recipients aren't organized! And the media is unlikely to cooperate to get the message out. I'm sure the people who are protesting know a lot of that stuff.
