GOP Wisconsin Governor Prepares to Seize Dictatorial Powers

Governor Scott Walker, puppet of the billionaire Koch brothers, is preparing a so-called "Emergency Management Bill" that his Reichstag-style one-party drone legislature will pass.  The right-wing business magazine Forbes reports that Walker is going to grab the power to take over  local municipalities and appoint "emergency managers" who will then cancel union contracts, dismiss elected officials and school board members, and take control of entire cities and towns. Walker would also have unchecked authority to cancel government services, including safety net assistance. A right-wing Wisconsin law firm is drawing up the dictatorial law that would totally strip citizens of democratic rights to elect their own mayors and other local officials. The totalitarian GOP has already passed such a dictatorial law in Michigan.

This comes after the Wisconsin GOP blatantly stole a recall election aimed at one of their apparatchiks on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, thus protecting the illegal law the GOP just passed stripping public workers of the right to have unions represent them in collective bargaining.
