Oh there's more. Wisc has very strict ethics laws, there apparently were violations and an investigation will start. Perhaps not just ethics. It appears, it is illegal to enact laws or try to enact laws that would enrich certain backers. That had been a problem in WI many years ago, the enacted very specfic and strict laws to deal with that. I think the man may be in serious trouble.
I don't know why Walker clings to his foolish lie that he doesn't want to attack unions. Of course he does.
Just like Sarah Palin it's the tea party motto. NEVER admit when you are wrong, always keep pushing the agenda, and always blame everyone else for your screw ups.
Even Shep Smith on FOX is saying what the Gov is doing in WI, is very bad. FOX? FOX? How long you think Smith is going to last? This whole mess is one big whoops, the guy in Ohio, better watch out.
Walker believed the caller was a conservative billionaire named David Koch, but it was actually the editor of a liberal online newspaper. The two talked for at least 20 minutes — a conversation in which the governor described several potential ways to pressure Democrats to return to the Statehouse and revealed that his supporters had considered secretly planting people in pro-union protest crowds to stir up trouble.
On the call, Walker said he expected the anti-union movement to spread across the country and he had spoken with the governors of Ohio and Nevada. The man pretending to be Koch seemed to agree, telling Walker, "You're the first domino."
"Yep, this is our moment," Walker responded.
The remarks showed Walker's private relationship with David Koch. He and his brother, Charles, own Koch Industries Inc., which is the largest privately-owned company in America and has significant operations in Wisconsin.

It's better than corporations which are quickly destroying this country.
I agree.....unions make up just 9.5% of the workforce while Big Business and their subsidies(corporate welfare) drain the country dry. Think Wall Street, Big Banks etc....who by their greed nearly collapsed our economy and country...I fail to see what unions had to do with it.
This is just another Republican ploy to divide the country as they carry out their agenda to limit the power of the middle and working classes. While the rich people who sponsor this rhetoric get even richer.....and they sit back and laugh as the "sheeple" believe whatever they are told to believe.
The phone conversation does not surprise me one bit.....it's all so obvious. My Mom used to say........Politics is like a slice of bread.....The Democrats will at least leave you the crust. The Republicans will take away even your crumbs..
SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!. Fool me once...shame on you....fool me twice....shame on me...Yet people keep voting these lying "bums" into political offices!...."Sheeple"....start thinking for yourselves!.

Since the Dems are in the minority in both houses of the legislature I doubt that much of an investigation will take place before the Senators tell all about their skipping town. I wonder if they plan to stay out of town till the next election. I also wonder if they think they can continue to be paid for staying in Illinois. Libs are libs and I think I can see what they think.
Not dense at all. They are just having fun with their story that may well turn out to be unethical because of what was done and how it was done.
