Outside of a part of Wisconsin, few people would know of first term congressman Sean Duffy. He had been on MTV and ESPN. Well, in a town hall meeting on Tuesday (29 March) he engaged in a conversation with an attendee. The attendee made the point that Duffy's new salary is three times (plus) the median household income of the area. Would Duffy reduce his salary? Duffy was not so enthusiastic. It is to be remembered that the State House Republicans think union workers have too much pay and benefits. Republicans are upset that Democrats are using Duffy as a self-pitying hypocrite. The United States is a strange country. The Republicans believe the poor are too rich, and the rich are too poor.Yesterday, in Florida they had a Special Olympics torch run. Rick Scott is the new governor of Florida. When he owned hospitals, he was fined $600+ million for fraud and pled guilty to 14 felonies. He participated. Also, yesterday, it was announced he would invoke emergency powers to cut the state's agency for the disabled.
