The Evers No-Work Flu

Frankly, we don't mind Tony Evers spending very little time "working" in his office.  Anything he actually does is usually against the best interests of Wisconsin citizens.  But Empower Wisconsin looked at his calendars anyway--and found that Tony just doesn't like to work.

But the Evers No-Work Flu has become common in many State offices.

...Several state offices in Madison observed by Empower Wisconsin last month were open to the public by appointment only. At the Department of Health Services office on West Wilson St., Empower Wisconsin was told that “nobody is really working in the building.”  [Question:  did anyone EVER 'really work' in that building?] At the Department of Workforce Development on East Washington Avenue, the offices were closed to the walk-in public. And the state offices housed at the Hill Farms complex had limited public hours. In the case of the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS), office hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. daily, but “nobody is ever up there,” a security officer told Empower Wisconsin. “There is a front desk, but nobody is there.”

Call these offices, like the governor’s office, and you will likely get a recording telling you to leave a message. The folks who have been through the DSPS and DWD phone tree wasteland will tell you not to hold your breath waiting for a call back....

You already guessed it!!  They're all Union Shops, and Tony is a Union Guy.
