Gov. Scott Walker is to Blame

I read a post yesterday from someone who is an activist.  They lean pretty far from the left so it didn't really surprise me to read the post, but it really didn't make sense.  Usually they have common sense and just pretty much follow along with the talking points of the left, but this time it was more of just a rant.

The topic was about the parking in downtown Milwaukee.  Lets all face it, parking in Milwaukee sucks.  It is expensive and there really isn't a lot of it that is convenient to where anyone is going.  However this rant was about how expensive it is and the fact that the company that runs the parking was raising the prices and taking away parking during the upcoming Summerfest. 

OK. So you are going to have to pay more and they are going to limit parking for you during the festival.  Got it.  It sucks.  The company really isn't looking out for the people who use the parking year round and instead catering to the festival.  Got it.  It sucks. 

Then came the zinger....."thanks Scott Walker"

What does the Gov Walker have to do with this?  Does he own the company? No. Is he the Mayor of Milwaukee? No.  Does he run the festival? No.  Is he the County Executive of Milwaukee County? No

So where does any of this fall on Scott Walker's shoulders? 

Maybe you should pull up your big girl and boy panties and quit being partisan.  Go after the powers to be that can change all of this.  Mayor Barrett, County Exec Abele, The Company that runs parking.  How about doing something that makes sense. 

Forget about it.  It's Scott Walker's fault or just maybe it was that dang George Bush who did this.
