Scott Walker Turns the Wisconsin Idea Upside Down



Quote source:  Gov. Scott Walker's changes to state government amid likely presidential run called 'monumental,' 'evolutionary'.  (Wisconsin State Journal, 2/22/2015)

This paragraph precedes the above quote.
John Torinus*, a retired West Bend business executive who serves on the board of Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, the state’s business lobby, said Walker’s budgets include “whopping big monumental shifts in public policy,” but unlike previous governors like Thompson who formed commissions to study problems and come up with solutions with public buy-in, the ideas are developed quietly within the governor’s office.
'Developed' might be a stretch.

*Likely a statement of approval as the Torinus family makes most of its campaign contributions to Republicans.
