No Runny Eggs

I’m sure Patrick will have the audio soon, but for those that missed the Green interview on Mark Belling’s show and Owen’s take on this (for shame if you got here without seeing that), Mark Green now officially supports the end of the automatic gas tax increase. Mark did have to pull teeth somewhat, trying to get Green to comment on the specific bill introduced by Tom Reynolds, but he finally did.

Revisions/extensions – will the Journal Sentinel report this, or will they ignore it like they ignored Walker’s call for this repeal as part of his larger transportation funding plan? I’ll take the latter and offer 5-2 odds to those that want to take the other side.

Revisions/extensions #2 – Just like Walker’s call to end the automatic tax increase, Green’s call is met with silence on 4th and State. I’m shocked, SHOCKED, that the biggest newspaper in the state would continue to ignore this hot-button issue </sarcasm>

In the headline on a story about Citizens for Responsible Government, the Journal Sentinel claims that CRG is planning on taking on Jim “Craps” Doyle. Funny, that’s not exactly supported by the article. Let’s review the two mentions of Craps in the article –

In the 4th paragraph – “Now it has its sights set on the biggest political target in the state: Gov. Jim Doyle.”

In the 22nd paragraph – “That broader appeal, Kliesmet and Seymer hope, will come on a conservative fiscal agenda they see coming from Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker and Green Bay Congressman Mark Green, the Republican candidates to challenge Doyle next fall.”

Get the feeling that the Journtinel doesn’t much like CRG?

While I’m on “curious writing”, Jessica McBride seems to find something curious about the article, pointing to her September 6 WisPolitics column.
