Randy Hopper’s Listen Session Last Night was an Utter Fiasco
Several people in a crowd of about 200 displayed anger and dismay Monday night when state Sen. Randy Hopper, R-Fond du Lac, said a listening session would not involve answers from him.
[…]
Michael Hochrein, a recreational supervisor at Taycheedah Correctional Institution (TCI) and the first person to speak, asked why Hopper would support removing collective bargaining rights from correctional officers.
When Hochrein finished, there were yells from the crowd demanding that Hopper address the question.
“I’m not going to be commenting and we’re not going to take questions,” Hopper said. “I’m here to listen to you today.”
So he basically sat there for two hours and played dumb.
What’s the point of having a “listening session” if there no evidence that the host is doing any listening?
Read the whole thing. It only went downhill from there.
