If you have not been to "Walkerville" yet, whether it be for a visit or to reside overnight or for longer, this week is a very critical week and support for Walkerville is never ending. Walkerville was created in order to have people present, ready at a moments notice to respond to the GOP majority attack on the Wisconsin middle and lower class people. Read the below story to know what is potentially looming this week in Madison and Walkerville.
Here is a small part of a news story written by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
GOP leaders agree on basics of budget bill
Madison - Republicans' plan to balance the state's budget by slicing aid for schools and local governments is largely written and set to come before the Assembly Tuesday, but compelling questions about it remain.
Top GOP lawmakers and Gov. Scott Walker agree on the broad outlines of the bill to close a $3 billion deficit in the state's main account over the next two years by holding the line on spending and cutting some taxes for corporations and investors to spur economic growth.
The wild card remains Walker's legislation to eliminate most collective bargaining for most public employees, which was passed in March but struck down by a Dane County judge. Republicans expect the state Supreme Court to weigh in any day on the judge's decision. But if the high court doesn't restore the law, GOP lawmakers would likely be forced to pass the measure again as part of the budget.
The 2011-'13 budget passed by the Joint Finance Committee would spend $66.1 billion in state and federal money over two years - a 1.8% increase - and eliminate an estimated 1,033 jobs. Its overall shape shows no sign of changing.
