The sheets are off. The Republicans are now saying in public what they have been saying to each other in private for years. The racism in the party is so ingrained that they cannot see it themselves. The fact is that this guy is not only serious, but also sarcastic about an unemployment situation that has caused poverty and crime. Talgo had already located in the center of Milwaukee when Walker turned away $800,000,000 for the railroad expansion from Milwaukee to Madison which subsequently cause the train manufacturer to leave Milwaukee. The open hostility toward Milwaukee that is currently demonstrated daily by the Republicans in Madison is only thinly veiled racism, but every once in a while one of them takes his sheet off and we can see him and the Republican party for who he really is and they really are. Sadly for Wisconsin, the oligarchs that own the Republican party have successfully divided the state so that this low point in our moral history will only get lower as these racist become even more emboldened.
By the way this is the same Bob Gannon who is calling on concealed carry permit holders to "clean our society of scum bags" after a shooting inside the crowded East Towne Mall in Madison that happened on Saturday, December 19th.

Murder, Mayhem and Jobs
Rep. Bob Gannon (R-Slinger) released this statement today on jobs and crime.
“As democrats statewide compose their yearend propaganda blaming republicans for every malady known by man, they need to be honest about job creation. Milwaukee is ranked the sixth highest city nationally in per capita murders by Forbes, which makes it obvious that our largest urban center, is the anchor holding back the ship of state as far as jobs is concerned. Milwaukee finished the year with over one hundred and fifty murders and over seven hundred others injured in shootings. Milwaukee finished the year with an unemployment rate of approximately twenty percent for their black population. This is almost four times as high as the white unemployment rate for the city and the state. This means that Milwaukee leads in murders and mayhem per capita, with a large number of these crimes occurring in mainly black neighborhoods, the same neighborhoods with the worst unemployment rates in the state. Could one make a connection between employment opportunities and the level of crime on those same streets? What employer will build or expand when they fear muggings, carjackings, attempted murder, or other serious criminal threats to their employees? One cannot ignore the correlation between jobs and crime, employment opportunities will only expand in these neighborhoods when the violence is stopped. Milwaukee has a democrat mayor, whose focus is a tiny trolley that will chug along in the more affluent and safer areas of the city. Milwaukee County has a democrat district attorney focused on a personal vendetta against our governor, a vendetta that’s been laughed out of multiple courts for having no legal standing, while ignoring the crime on the streets. The state’s economic numbers, including job development and unemployment rates, would certainly be significantly improved if only our largest city would clean up the murder and mayhem on their streets.” #
