An example of Governor Scott Walker's, YOU DO IT MY WAY OR ELSE...
For more than 35 years, the Coalition of Wisconsin Aging Groups has advocated on behalf of the state's elderly, disabled and their families. … But the coalition and its current firebrand executive director, Nino Amato, now claim they're under siege from top officials in the Walker administration for sharply opposing the governor on several key issues, including Medicare reform and President Obama's Affordable Care Act. … State officials deny any vendetta against the coalition and say there are no irregularities in how funds have been disbursed for the various aging programs in the state. … But a series of documents, emails and letters suggest DHS employees, including chief legal counsel Mary Spear, worked behind the scenes to discredit the coalition and steer funds to a different aging group that falls more directly under control of the state.
