Stimulus Funds Are Working

At Milwaukee County First, I pointed out that Milwaukee is about to benefit from stimulus dollars that are aimed to clean up sites in the area, including the old Tower Automotive site. This money will help create jobs, build business parks, create housing and clean up the environment, all at the same time.

It also shows how out of touch Scott Walker is with his own community, much less the entire state, when he tweets that stimulus dollars don't help real people. Harris Kane and Cory Liebmann show some of the real people that Walker doesn't consider to be real.

It also explains why the Walker apologists* are so desperate to twist his anti-stimulus stance around. It is just another big issue which Walker has come down on the wrong side.

*By the way, Aaron Rodriguez fails to point out that the fact that Walker did not even have the legal authority to set conditions on the stimulus funds. It is just another way that he was trying to hedge his bet when he realized what a political blunder he had made with his grandstanding.

  1. Chris,

    I'm not sure what your point is about having or not having "legal authority." It doesn't seem relevant.
