The Online Video Weekly News Reel - 13 March 2011

Christophor Rick | 2 years ago |

This was a busy week as I was in both Prague and Hamburg. Then when I returned the Wisconsin government had gone and done something illegal, Japan had been hit by a massive earthquake and then a tsunami and well, the world just seemed to be falling apart. Still, I watched it all online, in video. So the industry presses forward while our thoughts go out to everyone affected by the tragic events happening around the world.

I beg to differ on your blurb that "the Wisconsin government had gone and done something illegal." That's your opinion. And your opinion is based on total lies. The legislators who did show up for work did what needed to be done legally to address the huge deficit that the state is faced with. The unions roared like an aging lion in its last days. The vote was taken and the bill sent to the Governor for signature. If you can prove to me that your statement is true then I will have respect for your opinions. Meantime, get your facts straight!

  Questionable: Stating that all along collective bargaining was about the budget. Then going on a radio show and clearly stating that "it is all about defunding the opposing political party to ensure the Republicans win the next Presidential election.
  Illegal: Attempting to charge $31,000 for an open records request that asked to see all emails between the Koch lobbyist and the office of the Governor. In direction violation of the Open Records Act.
  Questionable: Sending his people to negotiate with the Senate Dems when apparently, they had no intention of actually upholding any of the compromises or negotiations.
  Illegal: Not giving 24 hour notice of the committee meetings and the call for a vote.
  The Wisconsin Open Meetings Law states that a 24 hour notice is required for these sorts of meetings so that the interested public as well as elected officials may be in attendance. According to you they gave 1.5 hours. Actually they pushed the whole process through in less than 30 minutes.
  Questionable: Using a tunnel from the M&I Bank building to the basement of the state capitol to get lobbyists into the building, while still preventing the citizens from entering the building
  Actually, that's probably illegal and not just questionable. Blocking access to the building during a public meeting (the Governor's budget presentation and other meetings) is against the law. So I guess that goes beyond questionable.
  Illegal: Conspiring to plant troublemakers in a peaceful protest to break up the demonstrations.
  Federal Law violation based on attempting to prevent US citizens from exercising their right to free speech and peaceful gathering and demonstration. Hopefully, this is being investigated further. It is most certainly an impeachable offense.

That's too much money spent on printing emails. Eventhough I am all in favour of transparancy: Why not publish them digitally? Or is this a smokescreen/cover up? And that planting troublemaker talk sounds really fishy.
Btw good post about video seo.
