Some bold words in an email could have City of Menasha Public Works Director Mark Radtke in trouble surrounding efforts at work to recall Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. Investigators are looking into his actions and another employee complained about the email, which Radtke sent out to City Hall employees on Tuesday, the day Democratic recall efforts began against the Republican Walker.
In the email, Radtke says Tuesday was his birthday and a “Special Day.” But in it, he implies others should support the recall of Governor Walker, by capitalising RECALL SCOTT WALKER in the email body, (full text here) saying, and quote: "Birthdays cause me to reminisce trying to RECALL all the great times we had as kids, you know, when you could misbehave behind your parent's backs and get away with it SCOTT free…Unfortunately, birthdays also make me think about what life will be like in my golden years, you know, like learning how to use a WALKER!"
I don't know what Radtke's intentions are, whether he violated any city policies regarding the use of city email for illegal activities or harassment, or what the supposed allegations against Governor Walker are, but what the offending quote said about birthdays does seem to hold true for lots of people (for me it's mostly about the presents) and he has since apologized and been cleared of any wrongdoing.
