Kanavas happy that the will of the people has been thwarted?

The Waukesha County Board has been roundly criticized for taking away the referendum option from the Waukesha Taxpayers League.

Even County Executive Vrakas has taken a
hit or two for not vetoing the measure.

Now, State Senator Ted Kanavas
weighs in.

Will the criticism follow?

I wonder...

I am late to the game here but what the hell is the problem with his statement? Remember for just a fraction of a second that Ted represents people from outside the city.

David-

There is no problem with his statement. I am simply wondering aloud whether the CRG/WTL gang will get on his case for the press release. Consider the following...

The County Board gets criticized when it doesn't act to downsize the board, then gets lambasted when they DO downsize. I agree they handled it poorly... but they got attacked both times.

Vrakas, still stinging from the WTL's attack of him on the budget, carries their water and almost immediately after the issue is raised he jumps on board with a proposal. Ultimately, that very proposal is passed by the Board and Vrakas takes heat on talk radio, in the blogosphere and from the WTL for not vetoing his own proposal!

Now Kanavas sends out a release praising the use of the new law... which he should (its his bill) and I'm just curious if he gets the same treatment as Vrakas. My guess is no... because usually when the CRG/WTL tells Ted to jump, he asks how high...
