84 Madison Teachers Submitted Fraudulent Sick Notes To Protest

The Madison school district held off releasing the number of teachers until after April 15th - this was the deadline to resind their absence excuses - 46 resinded their excuses.
What became of the 38 the did not?  They were suspended but the actual protest absence was considered time served.
It remains my opinion that they should have been fired!

WISCONSIN OPEN GOVERNMENT WEBSITE

It took the initiative of the MacIver Institute to start a website that will allow the taxpayer to to find financial info on public employees.
All of this information is public record and if you search hard enough you can find this on the Internet - it would appear that someone took it upon themselves to make this information user friendly and put it all in one place.

The WI Fraud Known As Foodshare

Here is just some of the fraud going on with the WI Foodshare program:

Sell their Quest cards for cash.

Trade them for drugs.

Sell the food to friends at a discount to get cash.

Use their Quest cards in exchange for cash - completing the deal in the parking lot and pocketing $50 for every $100 they spend in Quest funds.

33 prison inmates who either improperly received FoodShare benefits themselves or were improperly listed as living with someone else who did.

In 2010:

Nearly 2,000 FoodShare recipients reported losing their Quest card six or more times.

60 recipients had the cards replaced 12 or more times.

Federal rules require that a lost card must be immediately replaced and as you can probably tell - investigating these "lost cards" is not a high priority.

As is the case with all government programs - corruption and fraud are rampant.

Paul Ryan Booed At Listening Session

Paul Ryan was booed at a listening session he held in Milton WI.  The thing I don't understand is what part of if you are over the age of 55 nothing changes for you........don't worry baby boomers you won't loose your entitlements.  I will give up my entitlement so that you can keep yours.

Kloppenburg Asked If She Believes She Won The Election

 It was an unusual and uncomfortable silence - unless you are a conservative.  At least her campaign agreed with justice Prosser to only recount 31 counties - the counties with older voting machines.

Union Supporter Heckles 14 Year Old Girl Giving Speech

Freedom of speech is only a right when you agree with the Liberals.  You have to admit it isn't everyone that can throw f-bombs and the finger at a 14 year old girl reading an essay at a Tea Party rally.  He does it with such enthusiasm.

Koch Industries Sent Out Voting Information To Employees

An article posted on The Nation tells how Koch Industries sent out voting information, instructions on who to vote for and the consequences for disobeying orders.
The last time I voted there wasn't anyone looking at who I voted for.  If the article is true than my advice to the employees of Koch Industries would be to quit and work for someone else or lie to the old boys and tell them you voted exactly the way they wanted you to.
The last time I checked out the list of the biggest political donors - it has been topped by unions.  I know for a fact that unions tell their members who they should vote for and use intimidation to get people to do their will.  I guess the Koch brothers are evening the political playing field.
