Who Said It Best (And Worst): June 1-5

Who Said It Best (And Worst) is a new feature that rounds up the best and worst quotes of the week from notable Milwaukee figures, pundits, and folks-about-town.

SAID IT BEST
Ald. Nik Kovac, on lowering the fine on pot possession from $500 to $50

“If you’re not bothering your neighbor, and you are not a threat to your own safety or someone else’s, why should we have any tax-funded resources involved in that personal decision you just made?”

Kudos to Kovac and the rest of the Milwaukee Common Council for finally getting this puff-puff-passed.

SAID IT WORST
Gov. Scott Walker, on why his soon-to-be-signed bill banning abortions after 20 weeks does not include exceptions for rape or incest

“I think for most people who are concerned about that, it’s in the initial months when they are most concerned about it.”

Walker: Get-get-get-get-get over it, ladies.
