Our teflon Governor - - Google Walker and subjects like John Doe I, II, deer Chronic Wasting Disease, incomplete Zoo Interchange, 250,000 jobs not created, second-worst roads, $700,000 mining donation, secret Foxconn contract, known water contamination, etc. - - is sliding past accountability, again, over the Lincoln Hills youth prison scandal.
Shortly after his 2010 election, Walker shut down the boys youth prison at Wales, in Waukesha County as part of his Act 10/austerity slim-flam, and sent the offenders Up North, out of sight and away from SE Wisconsin where many have family connections.
Walker knows that hell-hole conditions at Lincoln Hills have festered and worsened, yet refuses to meet with an injured staff member and will not make a personal fact-finding visit there - - or to any state corrections institution, for that matter (so he won't be confronted by angry officers as well as conditions he has made worse) - - yet is laying the groundwork through easy rides statewide for a re-election campaign without the Lincoln Hills travesty, or his other failures or his enabling embrace of Russia's best friend Donald Trump denting the Walker image or poll numbers?
Why is this?
Low-to-no public expectations?
Post-Act 10 exhaustion/acceptance?
Weak or disorganized opposition?
Unstoppable pro-Walker networks and echo chambers?
Newsrooms drained of staff and energy?
Weigh in.
