Wisconsin: Walker's chaos budget
http://thepoliticalenvironment.blogspot.com/2015/02/walkers-chaos-budget.html
Megalomania unbound: Scott Walker's proposed 2015-'17 budget is a score-settling (as I said earlier) ultra-Tea Party scorched-earth blueprint for statewide chaos - - a document drafted principally for his gratuitous, unbalanced power-grabbing-self-aggrandizement at the public's expense, as it proposes:
* Eliminating 66 science positions and DNR authority to oversee river protections where sand mining is rampant.
...
* Wiping out the historic Wisconsin citizen policy oversight board above the Department of Natural Resources, further consolidating Walker's personal administrative through his appointed Secretary and senior staff powers to minimize environmental inspection and enforcement actions that protect public health and resources so that our land and water can be more easily handed over to developers and despoilers.
...
* Starving more millions from already-strapped public schools statewide which took a billion-dollar hit in his first budget by directing unlimited transfers of per-pupil funds to private and parochial schools.
There is an upside, however. Wisconsin homeowners can expect to save about $10 on their annual property tax bills. More at the link.
