Rep. Roys: What do Walker’s Out of Context Emails Mean? Nothing.
Madison‐ Today, Scott Walker’s office released a series of emails between Walker’s aides and staff for State Senator Bob Jauch (D‐Poplar). These emails contained nothing of substance that could be called negotiation. Representative Roys reacted to this release by issuing the following statement:
“Regardless of what Scott Walker’s Administration wants people to believe, Walker has scoffed at Democratic attempts to find compromise on his budget repair legislation. Scott Walker has publicly stated time and time again that he will not back down on his radical and unpopular proposal to eliminate collective bargaining for state employees.
“Walker also revealed, to a prank caller pretending to be billionaire Republican financier David Koch, that he was willing to put together an elaborate ruse to ‘trick’ Democratic Senators into voting on his unpopular overreach, and would pretend to negotiate but never actually compromise. He also joked about laying off thousands of workers to extort Democratic legislators into rubber‐stamping his radical agenda – showing how just how low he will go to get his way.
“Unless Walker does more than pay lip service to the idea of compromise – with concrete action like sitting face to face with Democratic leadership, his public employees, or anyone not named David Koch – his statements should be taken as nothing more than deceptive attempts to stop his free‐falling poll numbers.”
