Scott Walker's budget cuts $5.7 million from runoff pollution remedies

Way to CONSERVE one of your key resources, Gov Walker!



As worries grow about water pollution caused by runoff from streets, yards and farm fields, Gov. Scott Walker's next budget calls for nearly 16% in spending cuts in programs that attack the problem.

The reductions have gone virtually unnoticed until now, overshadowed by Walker's higher profile environmental initiatives to freeze land purchases and strip the Natural Resources Board of its policy-making power.Runoff is the state's most serious water pollution problem. In Green Bay, pollutants from farm fields and other sources have helped create a dead zone, an area so low in oxygen that it can't support most aquatic life.

Money doesn't grow on trees. If you think the money should have been cut elsewhere instead then suggest that to Gov. Walker. Whining here won't fix anything.

Silly, they were going to complain no matter where it was cut from.
 
Walker could always try raising taxes.

And watch even more businesses leave the state, true.

BTW, how is that working out for Cali? Oh, yeah, businesses leaving by the loads and loosing about 500K a year in population. Way to go. Sure, we should all be following the example of the most bankrupt state in the Union.

Yeah the record drought has nothing to do with cali's troubles...it is all the libs fault.... :roll:
 
From the link: "Officials with the state Department of Natural Resources say attention to runoff pollution will not diminish and other funding sources could be tapped." So it looks like the state is going to accomplish the same goal with less money. Kudos to Scott Walker

Translating from standard CON to plainspeak-

Walker's team claims they will do more with less by taking money from other places rather than keep the dedicated funding and cutting the other areas that don't need the money... :doh

It's called efficiency, a foreign concept to leftist politicians

Talking heads, nah puppets. Of course it has to be the truth.

Typical. Someone disagrees with a liberal, liberal starts calling them names

No, I give little credibility to Govt. spokes people.

Operative word is could. Then we have that other little issue he had- a deficit, from a surplus to a deficit. Not doing well is he. But then this appeals to those on the right who will blindly follow and ignore poor fiscal management.

The operative words were "will not"

1/6th of the budget cut and no impact. Clearly you feast on tripe.
I am amazed you can type with your head in the sand.
 
Same as the new GOP Illinois governor Rauner.
Though to be fair, he inherited one hell of a mess.
Our local GOP rag of a paper has been ripping on him since the election--go figure.
As a retied teacher, we have the very worst public pension system in the states--due to both parties.

But the last DEM governor was sabotaged by his own party leaders for six yeas--Cullerton and Madigan--after Blago went to jail.
So far, they're both working with Rauner.
And Caterpillar just announced they will keep their global headquarters in Peoria, IL and expand---huge .

And did you actually read any of the material you posted?

California had the largest debt. It also had the largest debt for the year. Yes, it ranks about 31 for deb to gdp, but compare that to Texas, the next largest state. Which is ranked 48 and has one of the lowest dept to gdp. Funny that most of the states with the highest debt to GDP are Liberal states.

State debt per capita, California--$3,060, Texas--$1,568. How about some other liberal states. New York--$2829, New Jersey--$4217, Illinois--$2234. Walker has a state that was liberal for a long time, His debt per capita is $2144, which he is trying to lower.

We should just do away with money, private ownership of land, businesses. The State should take over EVERYTHING, that way there would be resources for EVERYTHING! No more worrying about "money" it would just get done! Just think about the gloriousness!

(the scary scary scary part is, there are far to many people out in this country, on this board who'd think the above... was a smashing good idea...)
