Scott Walker's budget address is said to cut over 21,000 jobs

[Ellipsis]

This lunatic is pissing off damn near every local community.



My apologies I Can't get to the link and background at the moment to verify the job loss number. I'll try to post the info tomorrow...but here's a article form the New York Times on his budget.

“This is a reform budget,” Mr. Walker told the audience.

Mr. Walker, a Republican, called for no tax or fee increases, but cuts of $1.5 billion to items like the schools and local governments — the preferable choice, he said, for solving a deficit expected to arise in the two-year budget period that begins in July.

Mr. Walker presented his fiscal plan under extraordinarily tense circumstances: the sound of hundreds of protesters screaming “Recall! Recall!” and pounding drums outside the Capitol could be heard clearly inside the Assembly chamber, where lawmakers, the State Supreme Court and other dignitaries had gathered for what is customarily a formal occasion peppered with etiquette and tradition.

Even as Mr. Walker spoke, many protesters who have crammed the Capitol over the past two weeks were barred from entering the building. This led to a court fight — still unresolved — over whether Mr. Walker’s administration was permitted to limit access to the Capitol, which usually sits open. Scores of law enforcement officers took up posts all over the building, requesting proof of identification and barring those without invitations from entering the Assembly chamber.
