An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings

Guess the Politician…

So…which public servant has failed to turn in receipts for travel expenses?  Stayed in $600+ on a hotel room in London?  Spent $1,200 on chauffered cars in Canada?  Spent $5,200+ on a flight to Ireland?  And what was the justification for this?  If this doesn’t make your stomach turn, I don’t know what will.

    How does he look at himself in the mirror?  I’m guessing he really likes bassett hounds.  :?

    Now, being a “business class” fan myself, I can understand why he prefered to fly that way.  Believe me, crammed into a cattle car is not condusive to a good night’s sleep.  LOL  BUT…..this was on the taxpayer’s dime, so he should have paid the coach fair, and made up the rest from HIS own pocket!  A decent politician would have done that, but then, we’re talking about Gov. Dopey here….

    Exactly!! This was on the taxpayers dime, and in Wisconsin, that dime is getting quite thin. BTW – this morning the Patrick Cudahy plant is burning down…more jobs gone. *sigh*

    I’ll keep my fingers crossed y’all get a new governor, one who actually knows the value….or lack there of…. of a dollar.

    Well, there are some….gee, wonder who….who are so convinced Scott is a really bad choice, they’re going to fight tooth and nail.  Shame those same people haven’t noticed Doyle is a real piece of work who has driven the state into ruins.  sigh….  Not to mention run people, and businesses OUT!

    Well, I sincerely hope that by next year, the SANE people will be so sick to death of the taxes and fees, they’ll demand HOPE AND CHANGE!! LOL
