Fredrickson, who was appointed in September by Gov. Scott Walker to serve as judge of Branch 7, called his investiture the “pinnacle” of his career. His first day on the bench was Oct. 15, and Frederickson said he began hearing cases on Oct. 29.


Original 1/12/2019 post, "Scott Walker's toxic legacy:  "Power to the people" hypocrisy" (Taking away local control)", starts here.

Once upon a time, the Republican Party of Wisconsin developed a series of core principles, "commonsense conservative beliefs are the glue that bonds Republicans nationwide."


Unfortunately, for Scott Walker and his GOP grifters in the state legislature, "government closest to the people" is defined as state government.  Power to the people at the county and municipal level?  Fuggedaboudit!!


“From restricting county shoreland zoning ordinances passed by county boards, to banning municipal governments from passing container ordinances that make sense for the well-being of their community, legislative Republicans repeatedly used their majority in a blatant government overreach,” said Shankland.

So when Scott Walker tweets his latest " Send Power to the People" meme, remember his 8 years of power-mongering as governor.
