Walker concedes to Tony Evers; Speaker Vos may limit governor's power in lame duck session....


Rep Vos, Republican is being a jerk.--a sore loser.
It certainly is not necessary to talk like this. !!


MATTHEW DeFOUR and MARK SOMMERHAUSER Wisconsin State Journal 1 hr ago


Republican Gov. Scott Walker conceded the governor’s race Wednesday to Democratic state Superintendent Tony Evers, who vowed to seek common ground with Republicans in control of the Legislature.

But Assembly Speaker Robin Vos hinted Wednesday that GOP lawmakers may have unfinished business with Walker before he leaves office.



...........Evers thanked Walker for what he described as a “gracious” concession call he received moments before the event. He said Walker volunteered to make his staff available to Evers’ staff to aid in the transition.

Evers also said he is creating a transition team to oversee his shift into the governor’s office and name key staffers in his administration.

Evers said he also reached out to Vos and Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, Wednesday to begin work with them. He said he will seek bipartisan areas of agreement on topics including roads, education and health care.

“I would really like to talk to them about how we set the stage going forward so that we can find common ground on these important issues,” Evers said.

Vos told reporters he’s open to working with Evers but also struck a defiant tone, saying Assembly Republicans won’t roll back any of the changes they’ve implemented with Walker over the last eight years.

“If he wants to poke Republicans in the eye, he will end up getting very little of what he wants,” Vos said. “So that’s a choice I can’t make for Tony Evers.”....

your whole administration is now a joke, and you know it.

But you can keep on pretending that you actually Have some power anymore,
if it makes you feel good.

They are the most corrupt in the nation save for our Prezdent.

Too bad we still have mini-Ryan.

They lost in court, fortunately.

Vos needs to lose his ass in court too.
