Suits by governor, legislature, citizens coming on lame duck laws, gerrymandering.
RightWisconsin Editor James Wigderson and WTMJ-AM’s Steve Scaffidi look back at 2018.
My guess is that the Wisconsin Legislature’s Republicans had no idea what kind of public relations blunder they had committed when they decided to pass a bunch of laws to make the jobs of the governor and attorney general the people of Wisconsin had just elected a little more difficult.
Every election loser knows the drill: you take the stage, speak into the microphone, concede to the winner, tough it all out and move on, because the people had spoken and that’s how that game is played and completed. Refusing to do so, and then changing the rules and the import of the result out of spite, and in service to your often secret financial backers, is a serious and dangerous thing to do.

We thought 2017 had more whoppers than the front counter at a movie theater. But from the lies that influenced the Wisconsin election to lies that changed the national narrative about a whole host of issues, 2018 proved even worse. It wasn’t easy, but we narrowed the list down to the top ten whopping lies.
By signing lame-duck legislation to disempower his successor, the Wisconsinite confirms his scorching contempt for the will of the people.
A far more objective review of the legislation reveals that several measures are helpful reforms that promote much-needed improvements in our state’s governance.
Rather than be gracious in defeat, Republicans responded with sweeping proposals to consolidate more power, eliminate checks and balances, and restrict access to voting in future elections.
Trump and defeated Wisconsin GOP Governor Scott Walker have demonstrated again that they reject governing and embrace rabble-rousing.
In national politics, there is a pattern of the incoming Republican administration seeking to unravel successes of the departing Democrats.
In terms of lasting impact, Walker clearly will rank among the state’s most notable governors. His failed run for president will, I believe, be overshadowed by Act 10 and Foxconn. At the same time, his legacy also includes mismanagement of such key functions as transportation finance and corrections.
As he prepares to become Wisconsin’s chief executive on Jan. 7, Gov.-Elect Tony Evers has named more than 100 members of his senior transition team and advisory councils on economic development, health care, the environment and agriculture, and criminal justice.
