Link to November 6 column by Phil Hands in the Wisconsin State Journal, "Hands on Wisconsin: GOP win responsibilty for Wisconsin Budget Deficit".
Excerpt: And while it was a great night for Republicans, when they woke up Wednesday morning, Wisconsin's problems became their problems. And if they want to control things for more than one election cycle, the GOP had better get to work fixing the problems they said they would during the campaign.
They need to cut spending, raise some taxes and fees to plug the every deepening budget deficit. At the same time they need to cut taxes on small business or find some other incentive to get local companies hiring again. That is what needs to be done.
There is no time to waste millions of dollars on lawyers to stop a train. And there is especially no time to do anything in relation to God, Guns or Gays at the state level.
That's not why we put the GOP in power.
What say Scott Fitzgerald, Glenn Grothman, Mike Ellis, Joe Leibham, Dan Kapanke, and Sheila Harsdorf? And for that matter, Governor-elect Scott Walker himself?
Heard through the Capitol grapevine: So I hear that the Republican leadership has said concealed weapons will be the first bill. So much for their "jobs, jobs, jobs" message.
