It is undeniable that Scott Walker's policies, specifically Act 10, have helped Wisconsin.
From MacIver News Service:
One billion dollars.
That’s how much the state, school districts and local governments in Wisconsin have saved thanks to the budget flexibility provided by Act 10, according to the Governor’s office.
“This is a significant milestone—more than one billion dollars worth of documented savings for the taxpayers have been realized from the structural government reforms made last year,” said the Republican governor. “We made the tough decisions necessary to ensure our children and grandchildren were not buried under a mountain of economically crippling debt.”
Amongst the state’s 15 largest school districts, 12 have created substantial savings from using the budget bill’s tools. The three others, who refused to reopen their contracts to enact employee contributions, resorted to large layoffs of staff.
Act 10’s labor reforms allowed many school boards and local governments to make job-saving changes when it comes to district costs. In no place has this been as apparent as when districts bid out for insurance coverage. Many communities are switching their health insurers through open bidding that allows private vendors to compete for contracts. Redesigning the benefit plan and providing options also is providing savings
Walker’s office announced the one billion dollars in savings are documented through hundreds of media reports, local budgets, and surveys of local government officials throughout the state. They say the results show that the total savings exceeded reductions in state aid.
Walker says the billion dollars saved through the reforms are one of the reasons that property taxes for the median value Wisconsin property taxpayer went down for the first time in over a decade.
Scott Walker became Governor of Wisconsin on January 3, 2011.
What he has achieved during his brief time in office is absolutely remarkable. Walker already stands as one of Wisconsin's greatest governors.
This recall election is absurd.
RECALL WALKER???
It's insane.
What really disgusts me is the fact that the Leftists/unions/White House are wasting so much money on the recall effort and forcing Walker's supporters to respond.
The entire thing is a colossal waste.
Think of the ways all that money being raised and spent for this lame recall election could be applied. Think of the time being lost, all because of the Democrats' hissy fit.
It really makes me angry. I can't stand all the waste. It's so completely unnecessary.
ONE BILLION DOLLARS saved thanks to Governor Walker.
How many millions wasted thanks to the Democrats/Leftists/union leaders and minions/White House?
