School Districts realized post Walker when they ‘shopped’ they were each being overcharged by millions. In fact several school districts were able to add teachers with the money saved by switching providers. Unfortunately, The City of Milwaukee signed a long-term contract prior to Walker’s inauguration, is still getting overcharged and is still far below the State average in test scores in fact they’re near or at the bottom. Bravo Scott Walker and Wisconsin property taxpayers. Sorry City of Milwaukee.

BTW Just saw this week IL ranked 50th in credit rating among States. Quite the year after a 33% personal income tax raise, the refusal of slots at racetracks, and the last Governor being sentenced to prison for 12 years.

Catty on.
Five straight months of job loss in the state. Massive public sector layoffs. Frantic ad campaign trying to put a positive spin on nothing. Where only half a million were needed, 1.5 million signatures gathered to recall Walker, his second, and three Republican senators. Be sure to vote in the recall election. That's the great thing about democracy!

If Walker is convicted of over 1,000 violations of campaign finance law, and faces a fine of up to half a million dollars, he's really in trouble. Because his rich friends won't be able to pay for it through PAC's. He'll have to do a Gingrich.
