I just arrived at the courthouse and was collared by a guy asking me to sign a petition for solar power. Having earlier signed the petition circulated by Floridians for Solar Choice, I asked him what the amendment that he wished me to help put on the ballot would accomplish. He stated that it will "prevent the utilities from ripping us off". Knowing that the strategy of the utilities (in the event they were unsuccessful in keeping the Floridians for Solar Choice amendment from getting on the ballot) was to put their own "astroturf" amendment on the ballot to confuse Florida voters, I asked him who was sponsoring the amendment that was the subject of his petition. He stated that it was "Consumers for Smart Solar". Not knowing the chosen name for the Koch front group, I declined to sign his petition until I did some research on "Consumers for Smart Solar". That is how I ended up at this site. Thanks for the information. This is just another illustration that the Kochs are pathological liars and will do anything and say anything to line their own pockets. So, a group funded by the Kochs and the largest utilities in Florida are supporting a ballot issue that will "prevent the utilities from ripping us off". Right.
Scott Walker is executing a hostile takeover of the Wisconsin government and legal system. Walker is now free to commit crimes with no chance of being punished or stopped. That is retroactive, BTW. Governors from other states are following suit. Strong states' rights rule! No big government for these states. Coming to a state government in your neighborhood soon.
Seems to me that the Public Integrity Division of the Department of Justice should be looking into this. A few indictments of sitting Wisconsin Supreme Court justices may very well be in order.
