Labor unions are attacking Gov. Scott Walker by proxy with their unwavering support for JoAnne Kloppenburg over Justice David Prosser in Wisconsin’s April 5 Supreme Court election. But, their support for Kloppenburg may be a support for a pro-far-left, anti-jobs agenda by proxy as well.Sometimes you can just look at a picture of someone and guess their politics. This is one of those cases:
Constitutional attorney Jim Troupis, the private lawyer for Wisconsin’s Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, said Kloppenburg is “a political activist from the left, there’s no doubt about it,” while appearing on Madison and Milwaukee local conservative radio host Vicki McKenna’s show.
As an attorney for the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Kloppenburg has a history of launching unrelenting attacks on local business owners for what she perceived as environmental hazards. Tony Pipito is out of business after Kloppenburg launched a campaign against his restaurant, Porticello, for being what she perceived as too close to the city of Oconomowoc’s waterfront.
Pipito had obtained all the proper paperwork variances from the city and the DNR to allow the building to be within 75 feet of the waterfront before he opened the restaurant, and was shocked when both flipped on him. He said the city caved into the DNR’s agenda-driven litigation campaign because the “liberal left decides they can’t stand up for anything because they can’t go after the liberal left.”
Appearing on McKenna’s show, Pipito said Kloppenburg and the DNR’s campaign cost the community 34 jobs and cost him more than $2.3 million.

He has to be the scariest person i have ever seen
The unions rights that have been diminished, that everyone and the articles are talking about are for the local governments and school boards to use in balancing their budgets. Without this the local governments and school boards are at the mercy of the very large state unions. So if you were to read and wait to react you may be able to understand why this is happening!
I have to say I have become so cynical about close elections - I'm quite confident that Kloppenburg will steal this election via dead voters, illegal voters, votes "found in someone's back seat" and other miracles. If it does happen, I hope the Wisconsin governor and the other Republicans hold another vote on this same issue and this time, it goes through without a hitch or any way to circumvent the will of the people. Unions are scum.
