Power for me, not you

A couple more election stories:

We heard a lot about the Senate race in Texas which, alas, Beto O’Rourke lost. What didn’t get a lot of coverage was the 19 black women who ran for judgeships. All 19 won! Of those, 17 were in Harris County (Houston).

When GOP Scott Walker was governor of Wisconsin the GOP controlled Legislature ceded a great deal of power to Walker and his efforts to break unions. But now that Democrat Tony Evers has won the job of governor Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said:

If there are areas where we could look and say, 'Geez — have we made mistakes where we granted too much power to the executive,' I'd be open to taking a look to say what can we do to change that to try to re-balance it.

Yeah, a GOP governor can have lots of power, but a Democrat governor can’t. And we’re going to make sure he doesn’t. They have until January 7 to jam it through.
