GOP WI AG Brad Schimel's
appalling distance from the opioid crisis continues to be filled by the counties:
Our GOP Attorney General continues to give these horrible corporate actors a pass by refusing to sue or join other states' litigation giving these bad corporate actors and odd pass - - hey, it's an election year, and he's busy dodging Trump and running for re-election posing as an independent,
Most professional boxers could do that much simultaneous bobbing, weaving and back-pedaling.
But Schimel had no problem spending state money and staff time galore suing the Obama administration repeatedly to roll back clean air and water public health rules, so Schimel can't say he has to be careful with his budget.
So remember this little timeline the next time Schimel feigns dedication to fighting crime and using his vast resources the way a state's 'top cop' indeed should.

Milwaukee County sued several pharmaceutical drug makers and distributors Wednesday in federal district court in Milwaukee for creating a public nuisance and violating federal racketeering laws while contributing to a local opioid epidemic of addiction and overdose deaths.How crazy is it that dozens of Wisconsin counties are separately filing lawsuits or teaming up with others while state corporate bellhops like Schimel and fellow Republican-and-electioneering Scott Walker won't use their powerful and effective legal tools to fight the opioid nightmare at its well-heeled, anything-for-profits source?
