A Lesson in Hypocrisy (Waukesha County Edition)


Quotes from the article

Waukesha Mayor Jeff Scrima to skip Barack Obama visit to GE plant. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 1/28/2014)

So that's just empty thanks, Jeff? There was that one time, he acknowledged.

"I didn't know."  You or someone in your office should have asked, if this is such a big deal for you, Jeff.

Editorial:  Waukesha mayor plans to be a no-show at Obama stop.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 1/28/2014)

Apparently, he doesn't think Walker's school voucher plan is extreme.  Scrima didn't address that question directly, but he did say in another email that "Both Walker and Obama are extremists. I've never joined a political party because I don't believe that either party has all the answers.
