I don’t much care who wins.

I’ve known Waukesha County Board Chairman Jim Dwyer for nearly a decade and he’s about as decent as a Republican can be. But that doesn’t mean I’m jumping up and down excited about his campaign. Dwyer is just as likely as the next Republican to pull his partisan pals aside for his little petty whisper sessions.

His opponent for County Exec, State Representative and convicted cocaine abuser Dan Vrakas has got the love of Charlie, the adulterer, Sykes. That in and of itself should make thinking people raise their eyebrows and wonder what is wrong with him that such a scumbag as Sykes would be advocating for his campaign.

Vrakas is a TABOR supporter, Dwyer prefers personal responsibility for local government. Vrakas supported making permanent the increases in gas taxes. Dwyer prefers the pay as you go approach.

Vrakas has aligned himself with the neocons of the Republican party which will surely get him the help of groups like CRG, the corrupted group which prefers hate and recalls to promote a neo-conservative agenda over substantive change.

Dwyer brings with him experience and years of working with other government officials co-operatively. Vrakas prefers the top-down dicatatorial approach that big government republicans have embraced in recent years in an effort to pass along costs to local government so state politicians can look good at election time.

Dwyer is buddies with Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker but that doesn’t mean Walker will support him over former Assembly collegue Dan Vrakas. Dwyer has also worked well with former Waukesha County Exec Dan Finley but now that Finley has taken the reigns of the Milwaukee Public Museum, expect him to stay neutral in this race.

Should Vrakas get elected he will surely follow the borrow and spend approach that Walker has but it is unlikely that he would be successful in blaming his predecessors for problems he has created. Walker’s efforts are starting to show a County in meltdown — ailing parks, crumbling infrastructure and a sales tax scheme that uses borrowed money to pay for operating expenses to name just a few.

I don’t have a crystal ball that tells me who will win and this is one case where I don’t really care. For years Waukesha County residents have taken pot shots at Milwaukee County and those people deserve a guy like Vrakas. As I see it, they haven’t followed the golden rule and it should come back to bite them.

But I can’t tell how they’ll vote. They keep voting for the cocaine abusing convict Dan Vrakas and they keep re-electing the felony indicted Scott Jensen. Recently a friend told me that Waukesha County has more radon (radioactive seepage) than anywhere else in Wisconsin. Maybe it’s affecting their voting habits.
