Scott Walker's Budget Fight at Home: Wisconsin's Joint Committee on Finance has not met in 30 days (and counting)


Wisconsin budget that once was a plus for Scott Walker could hurt him in 2016.  (Los Angeles Times, 6/26/2015)

It's all over the news.
Previously in lockstep with Walker, Republican lawmakers are flashing some independence as they struggle to make ends meet. They have refused to go along with the governor’s proposed cuts in money for elementary and secondary schools and his plans to finance a big boost in road construction solely by borrowing. They have also forced him to moderate his proposed reductions in funds for higher education.

Dale Knapp, research director for the nonpartisan Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance, said the state’s current budget woes are in great measure “self-induced.”
