Walker spends 59,000 for 17 plane trips around Wisconsin!

[midnight]

During a time of deficit outcrys from Walker and his ALEC legislators, I wonder why the heck it costs so much to fly and why he didn't just drive? Could we use this as another reason why we needed high speed rail....



MADISON - Republican Governor Scott Walker has spent more than $59,000 on air travel during his first six months in office, a little more than his Democratic predecessor spent over the same period last year.

Former Governor Jim Doyle spent about $56,000 on 27 flights in the first six months of 2010.

The newspaper reviewed Walker's travel records for the 17 trips he took between January and June 21st. The bulk of the travel came during the contentious battle over Walker's legislative agenda and budget.

Walker Spokesman Cullen Werwie says each trip is evaluated to compare the cost of flying with the cost of driving. He says it's also important for the governor to highlight job growth around the state.

1. He should quit coming to Wausau.

He's made 7 trips to Wausau and all of them have been appearances that are closed to the general public. He's afraid to appear before the general public and he should be. He also sneaks into town with almost no advance notice. He knows if he gives too much advance notice he will be met with a big crowd of protesters.

3. Is he meeting with the insurance people? Or why does he

keep going to Wausau?

2. At 20,000 feet he can't see the protesters, their signs nor hear their protests

We should get access to his flight plans and have protesters at all HIS departures and arrivals.

He should be damn scared because we are coming after his NEOCON slug ass! RECALL WALKER
