1. Who is to say the money won't go toward mowing the lawn at

Scott Walker's mansion? "Department of Administration" is pretty broad and "For:" lines mean nothing.

2. Contact Ron Blair. n/t

4. Ron Blair might be the nicest guy on the planet and as honest

as the day is long, but if Scott Walker can fire him....

3. Since the ground was snow covered most of the time and

the ground was totally frozen, I'd wait until spring to see exactly how much damage was done..I doubt very much.

5. Actually quite a bit. There was a thaw, after which "keep off the mud" signs......

...we're necessary.

6. Yeah, but there's another rally on Monday

and something tells me this is going to be a busy year for rallies.

7. See ya there. n/t

8. Maybe Walker and the thugs should have to see that mud everyday and know what caused it. If they

want to keep a nice lawn, they shouldn't pass bills that make people protest en masse like that.

9. That mud is like a monument

The mud should be preserved, not "corrected".

10. I would, but I already sent a check for $7,000,000 to remove the tape residue from the Rotunda walls

Sorry.

I'll start saving, but it will take a while with the pay cut coming in a few weeks.

11. I was told that protestors are being fined for protesting in areas

not sectioned off for protests...the fines are big...$200+

could the grass/mud issue be part of the problem?

13. To my knowledge, those tickets are being issued inside of the Capitol.

I know of a few that were ticketed for protesting on the 1st floor of the rotunda - and that the ground floor is the "designated protest area". I haven't heard of any citations issued outside.

14. your info makes more sense....I might have assumed the

outside scenario...the tickets and dollar amount stuck in my mind more than location.

12. Walker and Fitzgerald can kiss my grAss.
