Plain Talk: Don't cross vindictive Vos — he'll go after you

The Legislature's biggest bully, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, can't help himself from using his legislative position to push other people around.

He's made a name for himself the past five-plus years as the epitome of the drunk-with-power politician whose specialty is getting even with anyone who doesn't agree with him. If you work for or do business with the state, watch what you say — because Robin Vos will get you if he doesn't like it.

And, by golly, he's got the power to make you squirm. Just ask him.

His latest piece of bullying came recently when he told Wisconsin Eye's Steve Walters that if it weren't for the urging of UW President Ray Cross, university faculty might not have any tenure protection at all.

"I might have eliminated tenure altogether," a boastful Vos told Walters.
