Even as he tried to balance the budget on the backs of working families, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) has been spending tens of thousands of dollars to fly around the state on a taxpayer-funded plane. A Freedom of Information Act inquiry by the National Education Association (NEA) revealed today that since January, Walker spent $41,935 on the use of state planes for trips around the state.

This revelation should make Walker even more unpopular with Badger State voters than he already is—in fact, his poll numbers have plummeted so badly, even among independents, that national Republican strategists are worried.

Writing on Tucker Carlson’s The Daily Caller website, Heather Huggins of the conservative group Independent Women’s Voice says:

The recent fight has cost Republicans support, strengthened unions, polarized the issue, and swung critical independents, who were essential to the Republicans’ 2010 electoral victory, toward sympathizing with the unions….Independents now largely lock arms with the union members and protesters.

3. What a lightweight! Our Nazi Governor Twelve Boots has his own

plane and sold the state planes so that the next Governor won't have one unless he or she too is filthy rich.

Honest question. I hope this helps with the recall efforts.
