Walker updates: His loss is our win, but his wins hurt everyone.

Today's Walker/Wisconsin report card: some protection for voting rights, but not for wetlands and clean air.

So a win for the people in the Court of Appeals on his imperiously sickening bid for judicial cover as he flouts his obligation to fully enfranchise all Wisconsin voters by calling needed special elections.


Now it's on to the State Supreme Court, where a 5-2 pro-Walker majority usually fights for the right to kneel first before his throne. Pray that I've got this wrong.

But, since he is the worst Governor in Wisconsin's environmental history - - losses today on two environmental fronts


Removal of state protections for 100,000 acres of flood-preventing, habitat-rich wetlands, and;

Approval for the Legislature's slippery withholding of air pollution data to promote more, purportedly business-friendly dirty air not far from the soon-to-be-even-more-heavily-polluted SE lakeshore region once Foxconn's 700+tons of emitted toxins hit the breeze.

New slogan for potential Illinois recruits for Foxconn, or residency nearby:
Come for the job, leave with some smog.
