Send Scott Walker a Clear Message at the Polls TODAY!
"We're going to start working on the state budget right away," Walker told reporters after a rally at a Sun Prairie farm late yesterday. "I'm going to start the next day or two after the election talking about a transition and the people we're going to put in place for that and start putting together our jobs package for the first days we come back into office."
Walker said he would start talking with legislative leaders after caucuses conclude their leadership meetings next week about a special session on job creation. Walker said his aim is to declare an economic emergency right after taking office and have legislators take up measures that would lower the tax burden on businesses with 50 or fewer employees, regulatory reforms, and repealing the state tax on health savings accounts.
Walker said he'll pay for the tax changes by appointing a commission to identify waste, fraud and abuse in state government.
Walker said he's given thought to who he'd appoint to cabinet positions and his transition team, but he doesn't want to talk about names before the election. He said he's found interest in and outside of government in serving in his administration.
He said he'll announce his transition team Wednesday or Thursday.
"Being a chief executive officer right now with a cabinet I understand how important that is, that's something I don't take lightly," he said. "So I've already thought about not one name or another per position but probably 10 to 12 names per position."
