from 2-1-11


"Companies that relocate to Wisconsin won't have to pay income taxes for two years under a bill signed into law Monday by Gov. Scott Walker. The measure joins three others Walker has signed in his first month in office that he said will send a message that Wisconsin is more business friendly. Walker, a Republican, has seen his legislative agenda speed through the Republican-controlled Legislature even though he has yet to explain how he'll pay for everything in light of the state's projected $3 billion budget shortfall....Aid to public schools, the University of Wisconsin System, local governments and Medicaid programs were expected to be big targets for cuts in the budget Walker will release on Feb. 22...

For his first month in office, though, Walker's...tax cuts...would add about $117 million to the state's budget problem over the next two years."

12. Exactly. A budget 'crisis' of his own making...

• The State Budget didn’t need to be “repaired” until the new Republican legislature and Governor passed a series of bills that created new deficits. The WI Legislative Fiscal Bureau reported that WI was in position to exceed its budget obligations for the 2009-2011 Budget until Walker and his allies passed a series of tax giveaways under the guise of ‘job creation”.
