News that GOP Governor Scott Walker sits atop a stalled state economy comes as no real surprise to people who have studied Wisconsin, let alone lived here.
Imagine if Walker and the ideologically-driven party, perpetual campaign, stage-managed Legislature, courts, agencies and media they control had put the same energy and resources they spent cutting education, dismantling collective bargaining, stifling innovation in wind and solar development, preventing state residents from voting or playing favorites with public assets into honestly listening to people and crafting an inclusive, expansive, forward-looking agenda.
So much opportunity, absolutely wasted.
