Gov. Scott Walker issues order to arm Wis. National Guard
The governor’s order directed Maj. “Allowing National Guard members to carry weapons while on duty gives them the tools they need to serve and protect our citizens, as well as themselves”.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s super PAC and another Walker-aligned group announced Tuesday they had raked in $26.2 million, placing the newly-minted White House candidate in the middle of a pack of well-moneyed contenders.
Scott relocated military recruiters at storefronts into nearby armories.
Rick Scott is expected to be in Jacksonville Wednesday morning to visit the Florida Air National Guard Base.
As far as the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, “it just keeps getting worse”, said Peter Barca, a Democratic assemblyman and minority leader who sits on the agency’s board.
The military plans to increase security at recruiting stations and reserve centers, following the shooting rampage in Chattanooga, Tennessee, last week that left five service members dead, two defense officials told NBC News on Monday.
Walker’s executive order does not apply to federal military recruitment centers like the Navy, Marines, Army, or Air Force.
That same day, Jeb Bush and Donald Trump, two other Republicans seeking the presidential nomination, made a similar call to lift the ban. The company, Green Box NA Green Bay LLC, said its world-changing technology would produce recycled products, electricity and even diesel from fast-food waste and promised to employ 116 people.
The call follows a state Supreme Court decision last week that blocked a controversial probe into possibly illegal coordination between Walker’s campaign and conservative groups during the 2012 recall elections.
“If it could happen in Chattanooga, it could happen here”, said Beduhn, who works as a security guard.
“Our continued public trust lies among our trained first responders for the safety of the communities where we live and work”, he said in an emailed statement.
