Scott Walker
Maintain nuclear safeguards, support clean energy, public interest groups ask
Public interest, environmental and faith groups, along with local clean energy and agricultural businesses, have joined in asking the state legislature and Gov. Scott Walker to maintain state laws safeguarding nuclear power reactors and focus the state’s energy policy on clean, renewable energy.
“Wisconsin has an opportunity to be a leader in the clean energy economy. We know that you care about creating family-supporting jobs, protecting the health of our citizens, and sustaining our natural resources. We do as well. We urge you to oppose any bills that weaken or eliminate Wisconsin's cost and waste safeguards for nuclear reactors, and support energy policies that help us realize our clean energy potential,” the letter, with 16 signers, said.
Noting that Wisconsin’s three operating nuclear reactors were all built in the 1970s, the organizations said that despite extensions of their operating licenses, the reactors’ operational lifetime is limited.

Despite Scott Walker's absurd lie on national TV recently that he has "never even once had anything but great things to say about teachers," the truth is that Walker has been leading a smear campaign against Wisconsin's teachers from his first day as governor.
Here is a timeline:
2010-2011 Campaign Website -- Repeatedly smeared Wisconsin teachers and said, "Wisconsin's education system is failing our children" and "underperforming teachers must not be allowed to continue to fail our children." Education seciton that contained these comments were recently removed.
January 3, 2011 -- In his inaugural address, Walker attacks teachers and other public workers's salaries and tries to pit low-wage workers against public workers, saying, “We can no longer live in a society where the public employees are the haves and taxpayers who foot the bills are the have-nots."
