LMAO, there might be many signatures but how many will turn out like this?

Walker promised that property taxes would not increase. Now WI property owners are finding Walker did not keep that promise either.

We live in Columbia County, so we got our bill already, and we have to pay a lot more than you will, per capita, to cover Walker's cuts. So while normally, I would have been a tad po'ed at a 15% increase in one year, I started laughing.

If everyone else in my small town and others like it all around this great state of ours open a similar joyful envelope, it will be impossible for our governor to NOT get recalled. Folks will be lined up outside the polling places, just waiting to color in the dot next to ANY Democrat that goes up against these baboons!

Or many signatures that are thrown away.

Residents who signed legitimate recall petitions may never have them counted by the Government Accountability Board.

A Caledonia resident, who asked not to have his name used, told Caledonia Patch that he and at least two other people in Racine are collecting signatures to recall Scott Walker, but have no intention of turning them into the GAB. Instead, they want people to think they've signed the petition, but not actually have their signatures count.

When most of the WI property owners open their 2012 estimated property tax letter, Walker will be taking a long walk on a short path to the front door of the capitol! Walker promised to keep property taxes from increasing and now everyone is finding.................their property taxes increased!

This evening a lady told my wife that her daughter had brought home three college friends who had never seen a cow before. What do you suppose they raise out there on the ranch? She said she had more fun showing those girls to the cows than her daughter who became a veterinarian did.

I ask you this because the order you put those things, reap and sow, in tells me that you may not know a lot about planting and harvesting of seeds. You always sow before you reap, not what you said.

Here is the most sensible quote I read at that link site. Of course, there were lots of others from both sides but this one tells pure truth and the others, on both sides, failed.

My tax bill went down a few bucks. I live in Madison. Funny how seemingly it depends on exactly what municipality you reside in terms of whether your tax bill went up or down this year huh?

There is a chance that you need to read some of the responses to things like this one and maybe ask the responders what union they belong to.

Blame your local politicians, in my town our property taxes are going down.

All this recall boils down to is "our democrat candidate lost the elecetion, and booo-freaking-hoo, recall Walker". <stamp foot, throw hissy fit>
