A follow up from earlier:

While Monroe and the defense team painted a picture of an apolitical man plagued by episodes of temporary amnesia, Judge Dennis Cimpl sided with prosecutor Bruce Landgraf, who pointed out Monroe was intensely bothered by Dem actions prior to the passage of Act 10, the state law that severely limits the collective bargaining powers of public unions. Landgraf noted Monroe appeared to be so concerned about Act 10 and the 14 Dem state senators who fled the state to hold up a vote on the measure that he sent an email to Walker urging the governor to “keep up the good fight.” He added, “if they don’t return by Friday, start laying them (state workers) off.”

Cimpl noted that in addition to multiple voting, Monroe had sent emails to Gov. Scott Walker, the state Democratic Party, a union chief and radio talk show host Mark Belling.
