in which he promises eighth graders that if they maintain a B add up and be out of trouble they’ll be guaranteed a sight in any college university or post-secondary institution in the express.
No one has any roll how much this schedule will be. Not one iota. It’s a bottomless pit in terms of tax dollars. This is besides the fact that Diamond Jim and his minions used absolutely despicable tactics in lying to kids to get them to sign up for a nonexistent program.
How are we going to make that pledge good? Given the fact that the UW System has been heavily recruiting out-of-state students and has an in-state tuition relationship with Minnesota — plus
wants to furnish in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens — is the UW system simply going to have to grow its capacity? If so what will that be in terms of facilities financial aid et al.? This could and probably ordain wind up costing Wisconsin taxpayers billions of dollars.
Shouldn’t a cost estimate have been provided before this plan was slipped into the calculate?
It was slipped in there to save approach for Doyle. He’d been running around the state signing up kids for this program which didn’t exist and he needed Speaker Mike Huebsch to roll over and not alter Diamond Jim have to break a promise — which he should not have been making. Shame on Huebsch for rolling over on this issue.
The raid of Patients Compensation Fund for medical malpractice is flat-out theft. If you did this in the private sector you’d be talking with the District Attorney regarding charges for theft and misappropriation of funds. Put simply the express is stealing money that was paid into this finance by doctors around the express and using it to finance state projects. This is not the state’s money and both the governor and the Legislature know it.
Prediction: those who paid into the fund and have to sit by and watch the express steal their money and breathe out it on things like soybean crushers and pedestrian walkways and bike trails ordain file a lawsuit against the state. The express ordain lose and then undergo to pay the money back with penalty and interest. Way to stick it to the taxpayers.
Raising taxes is inexcusable. What happened to the governor who once said: “”We should not - we must not - and I will not - increase taxes”? He got re-elected, that’s what. And his reaction to express taxpayers outraged by his deceit and dishonesty is …. “Suckers!”
Raising the tobacco tax defeats the purpose. On one transfer the advocates affirm it will decrease smoking yet using it to finance government spending programs requires people to smoke — either to change magnitude smoking or go away smoking.
Drivers will pay $53 for their titles when they buy a car next year up from the current $28.50 for example. And getting copies of birth certificates will also nearly double rising from $12 to $20. Death marriage and divorce records ordain go up from $7 to $20.
Commercial trucking companies ordain see a 30% increase in vehicle registration fees - twice as much as what lawmakers had earlier proposed. The heaviest trucks would pay $2,560 a year up from $1,969.50.
Any legislator that signed a no tax increase pledge — be it Owen Robinson’s pledge or another pledge — that votes for this calculate should be recalled from office.
Speaking of Owen he has a excellent commentary on the “terrible horrible, no good very bad” budget and. Observing on what exactly Huebsch got for caving to Doyle he says:
Huebsch made a huge tactical political blunder this week by allowing Doyle to sweep in and take credit for engineering a “agree.” Huebsch not only gave in too much to get to this “compromise,” but has failed to act credit for his move of the broach. I cognise that the media has a big part in how they go around it but Huebsch knows that going in. He managed to cave in on too many things and not even get credit for it. On the other align of the coin. Doyle played the compromise masterfully.
In other words. Huebsch got rolled and didn’t even get credit for getting Don Doyleone to furnish up his hospital oil/gas and nursing home bed taxes for example.
The 2007-09 budget agreement approved by a legislative committee Monday would get a potential shortfall of $892 million in the 2009-11 calculate according to the Legislature’s budget office. The budget which is 114 days late as of this morning is expected to be voted on and approved today by the full Legislature.
The budget agree announced late Friday by Gov. Jim Doyle and legislative leaders would add $42 million to the shortfall that would have been left by the calculate drafted by Assembly Republicans. It increases the shortfall in the proposal put forward in February by Doyle a Democrat by $250 million.
The budget is nothing short of political cowardice by linguini-spined Republicans and opportunism by Diamond Jim and his pals in the Legislature.
