Gov Walker Has An Open Door To Local Officials

From the Daily Reporter via Boots And Sabers..

Walker Taking Calls

"“He’s a guy that will take phone calls,” Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt said.

Schmitt has talked to Walker several times, he said, including conversations in which they have discussed specific ways to promote business in Green Bay.

“I talked to him about Greenwood Fuels, a company that’s expanding. They’ve put $20 million into it,” Schmitt said.

“He said to his assistant, ‘Set up a visit.’ Just like that; not, ‘OK, send this to this department.’ It was awesome.”"

This extra from Daily Reporter. Dems are and always will be partisan.

Walker extends hand to local officials

Despite Walker’s efforts to connect with local officials, an adversarial tone remains among left-leaning candidates — including Cieslewicz, who is up for re-election — running for local offices. Many candidates have aimed their campaigns as squarely at the Walker administration and its policies as they have toward their opponents.
