I am thankful that the good voters of Wisconsin had the wisdom to elect a Republican legislature to check this idiocy.
MADISON – Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’ spending plan would leave the state with a nearly $2 billion gap at the start of the next budget cycle in two years, according to a report Monday by the Legislature’s nonpartisan budget office.
The gap, known as the structural deficit, would be the largest since former Gov. Jim Doyle approved his last budget a decade ago amid the fallout from the Great Recession.
You should’ve put a link to your post from two years ago about the $865 million hole in the budget, from the third paragraph in this story…
Or heck, you could’ve just included this paragraph in your post.
Where are all liberals decrying spending and debt this bloated budget will require???
If you’re thinking LeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeRoy, Patsy, or Jiffy are going to “decry” this, I have a very nice bridge for you! Clear title, excellent ocean views, convertible to “toll” bridge at your convenience…………
Predictions are only good for a little while. I’m not going to get too worked up about this till all the sausage is made.
For the uninformed, here is some info to add to your knowledge base. Use it wisely:

Dad29, how big was the WisGOP hole?
>I’m not going to get too worked up about this till all the sausage is made.
Says the guy who has spent countless hours here bitching and bemoaning “Foxconn”. Leroy, you’re either bipolar or a partisan hypocrite. Personally, I wager you’re a bit of both.
j:
My complaint about foxconn is that it is an example of folks (alleged conservatives), in the case of foxconn, putting their thumb on the scale to favor one entity over all others, and in that case to use public dollars to do it. And to pretty much exclude folks from the rest of the state from the benefits. Sure they are spending $100 million on infrastructure right now, but is anybody from Florence, Crandon, Ladysmith, Prentice, Port Wing, etc. going to benefit? $90 million of that was earmarked for local roads statewide and now all of it plus more is going to only SE WI.
And if you haven’t notice, the budget isn’t passed, nor signed, so your criticism is far too premature. foxconn and K-C are done deals.
Whatcha got up in Florence, Crandon, Ladysmith, Prentice, or PortWing that would attract a potential economic boom similar to another Foxxconn? I could support another similar deal if you can produce a new industry with an upside that could possibly last decades.
Well, Merlin, there’s…..ahhh………hmmmm………..LeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeRoy! Walker shoulda told FoxConn to build up there because LeeeeeeeeeeeRoy wants it.
Well you guys out to get out of town more often. Spread that foxconn $$ around the state and hire WI residents rather than recruit in IL. Agriculture, forestry, tourism, and small manufacturing are all economic drivers in the rural parts of the state with significant local multipliers. And all are long-time factors in rural WI, whereas foxconn isn’t anything yet, and keeps changing what they are going to build, how many they are going to hire, and how much they will pay.
Keep drinking the kool aide.

And Connor has operations throughout northern WI as well in MI.
Walker shoulda growed more trees, is that your contention?
Nope.
Dud00 astutely recognizes Joe Biden as, “Hands-On Joe”.
And to think, if 19 more come forward he’ll tie Trump.
I see you’re smoking the hot hash again, Patsy. Haven’t commented on Biden. Don’t have to b/c he’s being demolished by his own party.
But it’s been good for popcorn vendors. Need a job? I’m sure one of them could put you in a wagon. That shouldn’t strain your work-skills.
“McConnell obviously wanted to pay proper respect to Hands-On Joe. Clearly, Joe’s speech was memorable, so McConnell condensed its content to a “Biden Rule.” That’s common practice as a sign of great respect.”

dud, is your short-term memory acting up again?
Must be. Another thing I learned from you. Maybe you can give Patsy a job selling popcorn Up Nort, or cutting trees….
Nort snorts: “FYI”
Please explain how a tribal enterprise business that pays no state business income taxes, no state sales taxes, no real estate taxes, has employees that pay no state income taxes, and harvests wood from their own property is “spreading $$ around the state”.
Also, please list all the cities, towns, or counties in Wisconsin that Michigan-based Conner Sports “has operations”.
mumbles:
Your aggressive ignorance doesn’t serve you well. Maybe you could ask the same folks that convinced you foxconn benefits the good folks in Iron County.
Nort slinks: “Your aggressive ignorance….”
Perhaps you should answer the questions I posed so as to relieve me of your accused ignorance.
They are really simple questions, Nortumous, so I’ll ask again:
Where in Wisconsin is Conner Sports located?
How does the tribal company you championed spread $$ around the state?
Put up or shut up, numbnutz.
LeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeRoy really doesn’t like to answer questions, MjM. It’s his solitary consistency.
