Tony Evers, State Superintendent of Public Instruction and candidate for governor, has a new video about a political effort to redefine reality.
The video is about Scott Walker, but it might as easily have been about any number of local politicians in Whitewater or other small Wisconsin towns, with tax breaks for out-of-towners and cronies defined as community development, gerrymandered congressmen described as community benefactors, and private business leagues that stack public committees, etc.
This last decade in Wisconsin (for Whitewater the last generation) raises this question: are politicians ignorant enough to advocate this way, or do they think residents are ignorant enough to believe?
