Randy Hopper Goes on the Air to Try to Save His Job

...Dismiss the spin. The important thing is that you have a candidate here, not someone likely to run away from the recall and resign his post. And because Hopper’s tainted in about twenty different ways – the anti-union vote, his shacking up with a mistress in Madison – that’s good for those who want to see him recalled. Which includes a majority of residents in his district, according to polls.

UPDATE: In Wisconsin legislators who live outside Dane County get a per diem of $88 a day when they travel to Madison for work (inside Dane Co. legislators get $44/day). If Hopper claimed the outside Dane County per diems when he was, in fact, living inside Dane County, now we’re talking about possible embezzlement charges. This would probably make him subject to Dane County prosecution. If that’s the case, he should be investigated by the Dane County DA.

Oh this is getting really good!

1. This just goes to prove that Republicon Family Cesspool Values
are about as lowdown and wanky as you can go...

These RepubliBaggers need to clean up their act. Big time. No morals, no ethics, no discernment, no honor.
