Got An Alternate Title for Gov. Scott Walker's New Book?
Gov. Scott Walker is coming out with a book that chronicles the controversy over his 2011 budget reforms. The book already has a title, but that didn't stop people from taking to Twitter with their own suggestions.
Gov. Scott Walker’s book, which will be titled “Unintimidated: A Governor’s Story and a Nation’s Challenge,” is set to hit the bookstores shelves sometime late in 2013. Sentinel imprint of Penguin Group announced Tuesday that it has acquired the rights to the book. The book chronicles Walker’s budget reforms in 2011, which sparked massive protests and counter protests.

I agree with the above. Gleason did not take the time to answer a reporter's questions. That shows how he will treat residents. But we know from ten years ago, Gleason made a mess of Mt Pleasant, then left the mess for others to fix. Gleason is in bed with special interests and is not to be trusted, he is evil. Karen Albeck is the only qualified candidate, she is honest and works hard for the … more ›

Doesn't sound like a very good choice either way for Village president. Havn & Hewitt look like obvious roadblocks to progress. Why can't I vote for 3 trustees like in the election? DeGroot, Molnar & Herek offer hope amid disaster. Meilke, the previous president, should go to jail & have to refund taxpayer money. more ›
