“I have heard serious concerns over the governor-elect appointing a provocative figure to head the Department of Transportation who is a long-time advocate for special interests.

I find Fitzgerald’s whining to be less than honest. When did complain when Walker nominated members to his cabinet that were in the pockets of special interest? Yet another example of hold Republicans believe the rules apply differently to them.
Fitzgerald is showing his hypocrisy once again. Well said mkwagner.
Special interests – you mean ordinary people? My mom had a saying, “The pot calling the Kettle black!”
