Related: About this forumRepublican Businessman Sheldon Lubar Calls Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker 'Conniving'
I am not proud to read in the Milwaukee newspapers and learn the conniving that Wisconsin Republicans, led by you and certain others, are planning, Lubar wrote in the email, as reported Tuesday in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. If you are asking why I changed, I must say I didnt, you did. You let your presidential political ambitions supersede your duties and obligations to the people of Wisconsin. This was too much for me.
In recent days, Wisconsins Capitol has been flooded with demonstrators chanting Shame! Shame! at the Republican lawmakers hoping to gut the legislative power of the Democrats replacing them in January.
Lubar, who held appointed positions in Washington under three presidents ― including commissioner of the White House Conference on Small Business under President Jimmy Carter ― said moving forward with the measures would go against the will of Wisconsin voters.
What they are planning for the Republican Party of Wisconsin will malign its integrity and lead to its downfall, he wrote. Worse, it will damage Wisconsin as it ignores the will of the majority of Wisconsin voters.

He could veto the legislation. If not he's giving his opponents ammunition should he throw his hat in the ring again at some point.
