Another "Stick It To 'em" Tommy Race??

All of SE Wisconsin remembers Tommy Thompson's infamous "Stick It To 'Em!!" war-cry.  That was given to a Northern Wisconsin audience and Tommy was referring to Southeastern Wisconsin.  Specifically, he was supporting his good pal Bud Selig's quest for a 5-county sales tax to finance the new, improved, hot-diggety-dog!! Stadium that Bud wanted.  When the stadium was finished, the value of the team increased significantly, and Bud sold it.  Now, about 20 years later, the tax has finally expired.

Thanks, Tommy!!

Belling reports that it appears that the Doyenne of Wisconsin Pubbies, Diane Hendricks (64th richest woman in America, net worth north of $11 billion) has dumped Rebecca Kleefisch and has 'encouraged' Tommy to run.

Again.

Tommy was very good at Bond-and-Spend.  He spent a lot of money on projects for Lefties (college campuses, buildings, schools in general, and highways!!!) and bonded the expenses--thus avoiding tax increases.  In fact, Tommy reduced taxes.  Of course, the debt still had to be paid, but Tommy left office.  And in every single year he was Governor, he added employees to the State payroll.

That's "conservative"?

Hell, no.  That's Deep State Pubbie-ism at the State level.

So Hendricks doesn't like something about Rebecca and dislikes even more about Nicholson.  So much so that she'd like to resurrect a super-annuated glad-handing Madison-oriented pol?

This is ...............ahhh.............interesting.
