Signed Senate Bills 883, 884, & 886 into law in Green Bay. Despite all the hype and hysteria out there, these bills do nothing to fundamentally diminish executive authority. The bottom line is the new gov. will cont. to be one of the most powerful chief executives in the country.

If you had too much power, why did you embrace it until your last week in office? Perhaps we need to repeal the idiotic legislation you signed into law the last 4 years based on constitutional overreach of powers! #scottwalker
