The clear hypocrite is Scott Walker, for whining that the Dem Governor did so - yet is doing the exact same thing himself, right now: stealing money from the settlement to balance the budget he's lied about and said was balanced. $150 million in the whole. I think it's appalling he's stealing this money from the victims of the fraudulent practice of the banks. You are defending your industry. Good luck with that.

Please educate yourself on the mortgage settlement and get back to me with your plan on what the states should do with this money. Do you want them to cut checks to people that didn't make their payments that were foreclosed on? How do you want the $ spent? How about all the unpaid government recording fees that the banks skipped out on should we not worry about those?

Please educate yourself on the mortgage settlement: they should do with the money exactly what is itemized in the legal settlement agreement. Which does NOT include Scott Walker stealing multiple millions to balance his budget, does it?

Since you don't take time to read the actual portion that states the payments to the states. I will post it for you so hopefully you can read it.
How much did walker so call steal? Was it the entire amount or was it the portion that could be designated as civil penalties?


VI. Payments to the States
The remaining settlement funds, approximately $2.5 billion, will be paid to the participating states.
The funds may be distributed by the attorneys general to foreclosure relief and housing programs,
including housing counseling, legal assistance, foreclosure prevention hotlines, foreclosure
mediation, and community blight remediation. A portion of the funds may also be designated as
civil penalties for the banks robo-signing misconduct

You mean the Attorney General who refused to investigate his buddy Walker, so the FBI had to be contacted to initiate the John Doe investigation? The one that is resulting in multiple felony charges in Walker's office, that is still ongoing?

The citizens of Wisconsin are discussing with the lead Attorney who lead the deal with the banks, and the Feds, to see if what Walker has decided to do about stealing millions from his citizen's settlement - in consultation with nobody else in the Government but his Attorney General - is legal.

Walker and the GOP in Wisconsin has cost Wisconsin hundreds of thousands in legal fees. He's lied to the citizens. He's not balanced the budget. He's lost massive amounts of jobs.
