Speaker: SCOTT WALKER
GOVERNOR, STATE OF WISCONSIN
JULY 9th, 2012
After winning the historic recall election in June, Governor Scott Walker will visit the Manhattan Institute to explain his experience reforming the public sector and freeing cities and states to find their own sound fiscal footing. His leadership is a model for governors across the country and holds many lessons for policymakers and political leaders who want to bring fiscal sanity to government. Please join us for a firsthand account of what Wisconsin's experience can mean for America's future.

Oh came back.
Really appreciated the chance to "drop in" on your Scott Walker event. I hope more of your events will allow out of area citizens participate in your forums. Thank you
Scott, why do you continue to state you needed to break public sector unions, when you under oath testified you didn't need to do so to balance the budget?
Why,when the WRS is solid, and is the best shape of any retirement plan in the USA, YOU want to alter options for it's partisipants or penalize those who do not change to a 401K style plan?
You hate public employees, and big business is in your pockets. Where is a raise for myself and my co-workers?
Do you agree,either YES or NO you would have won the recall election if you and Tom Barrett spent the same amount of money on the recall elecition?
Seeing you spent up to 8 times as much, tied up TV ads, radio etc as Barrett in the recall election, did you really need to spend that amount? No union or other wise spent that much. It is very obvious this amount of money was not needed or warrented to spend.
Quit repeating lies about the Affordable Health Care Act.
Walker is one of the most corrupt, dishonest sleezebags to ever hold office. He should be behind bars. He disgusts me.
So proud to be a supporter of Gov. Walker. I believe that term limits at ALL levels (village, city, county, state, federal including the Supreme Ct) of elected offices would force elected representatives to focus on the issues rather than focusing on what they believe they need to do to position themselves for re-election. I'm for allowing only 2 consecutive 4 year terms (just like the US Pres) at every level, and I believe that the term "career politician" should NOT mean staying in one elected position for 30+ years, but instead mean, for those who wish to continue to serve, moving up (as their successes have warranted the trust of the voters)! Also, many elected offices could and should be part time. Raises should NOT be self rewarded, but put to the voters. Give the power back to the LEGAL taxpaying voters of the constituency.I believe this change should be put to the voters through a straight-forward reforendem at the earliest possible election.
Also, let's follow the practices of every other nation in the world and enforce our immigration laws!
If we wouldn't miss him as Gov. of Wisconsin, I would want this honest and brave man to be our President of the U.S of America!!!
Gov. Walker proves you defeat bad ideas with better ideas, delivered in a bold and unafraid way.
Thank you Governor Scott Walker for doing the right thing for all not just the special interest groups.
