WHY THE FREE PASS?

Why is it that when Slick Scotty, our County Exec says something truly stupid, ("if they would only go out and get cars they could get to a job and wouldn't need public transportation," or "if only they would get a job, they could afford a car and wouldn't need public transportation," or "by cutting back on public transportation I am actually helping poor people (read Hispanics and African Americans) become more independent, because they will have to get a car like the rest of us,") and no one calls him out on it? He gets a free pass from local Fascist Radio. He gets a free pass from MMM, (our local Mega-Media Monolith). When his decimation of the County workforce and budgets borders on criminal, (court house infested with cockroaches) he gets a free pass and is praised on Fascist Radio for "saving tax dollars for average Milwaukeeans." Slick Scotty is carefully and with malice aforethought, dismantling the decent living standards enjoyed by this community for 60 years in favor of a small suburban elite who want only to drive their SUV's two blocks to Whole Foods and not contribute one single penny towards the general good.

I am so tired of his continual blaming of the pension scandals of many years ago for his asinine positions on public transportation and health services and his repeated failures to get anything accomplished for the county as a whole. He panders to those whose mantra is "I've got mine and to hell with you if you haven't got yours." Unfortunately, Slick Scotty is not alone. This selfish, mean-spirited attitude has permeated all levels of our society today. Have you ever noticed what happens when you squeeze a nickel? It shoots upward. And it gets grabbed by a higher hand. A modern parable I think. It is evident in obscene CEO compensation and it is evident in this local County Executive who only cares about his constituents who drive cars... large cars.

And now he wants to blame the State for not providing public transportation? It is so typical of Slick Scotty... it is ALWAYS somebody else's fault. He's never taken responsibility for anything during his disastrous terms and the standard of living in MKE inexorably sinks to even darker depths. Where is the righteous indignation from Fascist Radio, our protectors, S&B, those stalwart guardians of the good life? Oh, sorry, I forgot... their pensions are vested. They can afford to drive big cars. Isn't it time someone, ANYONE, notices that the Emperor has no clothes? And we're the ones left out in the cold?
