Walker To Appear With New Jersey Gov. Christie In Oak Creek Tuesday

Event at KEI will be held at 2:30 p.m.

Gov. Scott Walker will be in Oak Creek Tuesday for an event with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. 

The "Moving Wisconsin Forward Rally" will be held at 2:30 p.m. at KEI, 824 W. Rawson Ave., according to a media advisory from the governor's office.

"New Jersey Governor Chris Christie will be visiting the Oak Creek area with Governor Scott Walker to meet with local residents and encourage supporters to continue spreading the word on how Governor Walker's reforms are turning Wisconsin around," according to the media advisory.

It will be the first of two visits to Oak Creek this week for Walker. He is also scheduled to be in town Friday for the Drexel Interchange groundbreaking.

Christie is coming to Wisconsin .

brian, your inability to stay in touch with the reality of all people in this area and your big mouth are the two main reasons that you lost your bid for school board.
jt May 1, 2012 at 01:30 am
the only reason that christie is here to back walker is because he owes walker one for being the first idiot to try these reforms while christie sat back and said ooo that didn't work! i guess i'll try a different approach

Sorry to shoot a few holes in your post, but...
1. There is no such thing as a "shining" example when it comes to politicians. 2. Despite all the rhetoric about public unions over the last year, the biggest problem is you and I demand so much of government to provide for us. Public unions have taken advantage of this. You want too many cops (which are exempt in case you didn’t know) , you want your roads dry and smooth, you want good public schools, you want public parks, you want government to settle your lot line dispute with your neighbor. Government to take care of everything. And you want all this for little or nothing. The old business axiom is that you cannot get more for less. Having worked around public sector for a long time, unions are just the tip of the ice berg. Walker’s biggest failing and collusion has been not being able to take on the politicians that run this machine. He tried this (to his credit) with Milwaukee County (which is why many like myself voted for him), lost and left pouting and now went over to the other side with whatever forces are yanking the strings. A changed person to be sure. No more “brown bag lunch, waive my salary,” live in a simple house compromise type of Scott Walker. If the school milk money is worth the deed to the property, well, have at it people. No recall for me. Just total disappointment in the system in general.

Chris christie is one of the worst things to ever happen to NJ. Glad him and Walker will both be 1 termers.
Scott May 1, 2012 at 09:00 am
JT is partially correct. Christie put his toe in the water of union busting and discovered he would lose his job if he pursued it. He's more politically savy than Walker.
Brian Dey May 1, 2012 at 09:32 am
Jt- It's not about staying in touch, its about doing what is right. I knew full well that going after the REA would not get me elected. Exposing the agenda of union leaders in this area as the thugs they are was my agenda and in that, I far exceeded my expectations. It's mindsets like yours that only fires people like me up, and exposing the actions of our local union to the local, state and national media was victory enough.
And in the week after the election, the unions marched our children to the pathetic school board with some jazzed up "Student Bill of Rights" that did nothing but promote the union's agenda. Instead of teaching our children, they used them as pawns in their whining and screaming campaign against reform. And thanks to some of our union leaders, good teachers will lose jobs by the hundreds in Milwaukee and Kenosha, and Racine will be next. My hope and the hope of many others is that collective bargaining will end entirely in after Scott Walker wins again.

Hit the nail right on the head with that one Lyle !

I find it amazing that the only portion of public sector workers that continue to whine are those that are losing their jobs next school year. Oh but wait the very same group who rammed contracts thru. Hmmmmmm once again the majority has seen Gov Walkers reforms are actually working. Whats also sad is many of you on the left have also seen positive forward progress, but would never admitt it!! Your very ideological ideas and rhetoric has done great things for Country right? I mean Im only paying 3.89 at the pump, grocerys have only just about doubled in the last 3 years. Hmmmm your liberal, pro union, pro Obama, progressive liberal ideas are awesome!! Give me a break
Tom Barrett May 1, 2012 at 11:30 am
Hit your head right on the nail with that one, Lyle.
Kate May 1, 2012 at 11:45 am
Wow what a divisive bunch Oak Creek has...Walker will lose because what he did was illegal and against the wishes of the majority. Most public employees i've spoken to had no problem (or little problem) with the requests to contribute more to their own insurance and pensions but the illegality of stripping the bargaining rights of a union was the deal breaker. Wake up and smell the napalm smell of all of us losing our constitutional
rights little by little. Slash and burn people get used to it..America is no longer the strong vibrant country of independent souls with a shared dream but a bunch of divisive name callers with no apparent ability to see that we've been sold out...you are all sad and nasty. of "

Romney in a landslide. Don't believe the Obama-loving media. especially 6 months away. Counting the days until we can watch the teleprompter-less Presidential debates.
Dirk May 1, 2012 at 02:03 pm
Heading over in an hour or two. Can hardly wait.
Dirk May 1, 2012 at 02:04 pm
Brilliant analysis again, lyle. LOL!!
Dirk May 1, 2012 at 02:07 pm
Extremely. Thankfully those days are over in Wisconsin.
Greg May 1, 2012 at 03:30 pm
This is the first thing that Lyle has posted that makes any sense, I think the governors may even get a chuckle out of it.
Greg May 1, 2012 at 03:40 pm
You know nothing of which you speak. Illegal?? Where? When? Maybe the public employees that YOU'VE spoken to had no problem, but their unions sure did. Anyone can claim anything, after the fact, but actions speak louder than words. The unions never would give an inch, and even after Act 10, they left their own members out to dry. Unions never did anything to make this country independent, by their nature, it is the opposite.
GearHead May 1, 2012 at 03:43 pm
"...but the illegality of stripping the bargaining rights of a union was the deal breaker."
What illegality? Walker changed the law. Nothing illegal about changing a law. In fact, it was an excellent change of law that protects the taxpayers rights to keep more of their own money. May I remind you "the majority" voted him into office for exactly this reason.

@jt the fleeing 14, public unions, tate, and zielinski are the only ones reponsible for a divided state.
Alfred May 1, 2012 at 07:14 pm
Lyle Rube....another no-bill-paying liberal who thinks it is fine that ones house is foreclosed upon. His old lady is on the county dime and is a out spoken union goon. We see through your scam Mr Rube.
Mike in OC May 1, 2012 at 07:16 pm
@Mark... you have the address listed as W. Rawson Ave... but it really is E. Rawson Ave....

Hey Lyle, here's a clip from the event, showing what Walker thinks of the people of Wisconsin -- http://tinyurl.com/bwymabf

Better get there before the food is gone.
Lyle Ruble May 1, 2012 at 09:14 pm
@Alfred...Too bad your wrong. Just for your information sometimes things stay on the books long after there dealt with. BTW, my spouse has never worked for the county. Bad supposition.
Bucky May 1, 2012 at 11:20 pm
Alfred ... When they let you out of the institution did they give you back your belt and shoe laces ?
Adam Wienieski May 2, 2012 at 01:09 am
That is bad Tom Barrett. The women working in Mayor Barrett's office average $17,000/year less than men? More proof liberals are the biggest hypocrites evah.
jt May 2, 2012 at 02:17 am
not sure why walker would invite a guy who is much smarter then he to campaign for him, but it is obvious that this is more then just a wisconsin agenda.
i hope they waste their more then 13 million on walkers campaign! i wonder how far that 13 mill would have gone if it was just donated to wisconsin's deficit? maybe if walker would have asked for that kind of donations to balance the budget he might have been a hero not a zero!
Craig May 2, 2012 at 02:23 am
@Keith: Isn't it you who is really into freebies at other's expense?
@JT: 13 million is a drop in the bucket compared to the $4 Billion hole Doyle left. But don't worry if Walker wins the recall election. Once people see how his methods actually work, he will be in the white house after a few terms.

Grow up. We won't forget either. That those of you who had a little bit, held tightfisted to it likeRead More a four year old unwilling to share his toy truck. That you endorsed and supported a man who has gone on to undermine this state, its jobs, its infrastructure, its education system, its people, its very foundation. You remember...it was you who did this.
