[QUOTE="MAKAVELI, post: 1518411, member: 43825"] Your governor is a :censored:ing joke.:D Good luck Wisconsin with this putz. You're going to need it. [URL]http://thinkprogress.org/election/2015/02/04/3618996/walker-budget-officials/[/URL] But as the Governor struggles to close a nearly $2 billion budget gap, state officials on both sides of the aisle tell ThinkProgress the plan is “nonsensical,” and predict it will trigger public sector layoffs, weaken environmental protections and devastate higher education. State leaders are also blasting the budget as fiscally irresponsible, estimating that one controversial proposal to administer drug tests for food stamp recipients could cost local counties millions. Former Republican Senate Majority Leader Dale Schultz added that the Governor’s policies over the past four years created much of the budget gap in the first place. “Walker inherited a big deficit from Governor [Jim] Doyle, but now we’re right back in the same soup because of this anti-government, ‘starve the beast’ mentality,” Schultz told ThinkProgress. “As soon as there was any revenue, [Walker] wanted to cut taxes. It’s great for turning on a certain element of his base, but I’m not sure what it’s doing for the average mother and father in Wisconsin.” The Governor’s new budget cuts property taxes even further, merges agencies that provide public services, and diverts funds from public schools into expanding private voucher programs, which Schultz called “dubious educational experiments.” The plan also makes unprecedented massive cuts to state universities and public media. The state Department of National Resources will also take a big hit, losing 66 jobs, the ability to create new land conservation until 2028, and much of its power to regulate polluters. [/QUOTE]
