Scott Walker punked by environmental activist

Politico: Scott Walker got tricked at a restaurant in Manchester, New Hampshire Monday. Tyler McFarland, a 23-year-old environmental advocate, held up a sign that said "Walker 4 president' and asked for a photo with the Wisconsin governor. At the last second though, McFarland flipped the sign. On the other side was an oversized fake check from Republican mega-donors the Koch brothers that read: Pay to the order of Scott Walker $900,000,000. Walker didn't seem to notice the gag and continued to take...

Cap Times: Gov. Scott Walker said that if he's elected president he'll strip the federal Environmental Protection Agency of most of its regulation powers.

In an interview on WKOW-TV's "Capitol City Sunday," Meyer recalled the climate when he worked in the DNR's legal division before the 1970 formation of the EPA. "In...

Walker has made the iconic American brand a centerpiece of his campaign kick-off tour this month, visiting four dealerships and sometimes showing off his own 2003 Harley Road King as he seeks to harness its appeal to older white male voters.

CounterPunch: Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker recently announced that he would reduce the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to little more than an umbrella organization mediating interstate squabbles. In a July 27 interview with The Washington Examiner, Walker said, Id shift that power and money out of Washington and basically just leave in place an umbrella organization that really is limited to mediating interstate conflicts over, say, where a body of water or piece of land goes...

MSNBC: Republican hostility for the Environmental Protection Agency isnt exactly new, but it was nevertheless striking to see a leading Republican presidential candidate explain his plans yesterday to effectively eliminate most of the EPAs responsibilities. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) talked to the conservative Washington Examiner yesterday, and began by talking generally about shifting powers from the federal to the state level on everything from Medicaid to transportation, workforce development,...
