Walker proposes $4.55 billion tax cut

Putting aside the fact that his claim that he’ll create 250,000 new jobs in Wisconsin before the end of his first term is pure fantasy, Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker also seems to have a problem with the math associated with his claim. Walker’s plan for job creation centers on lowering taxes, while [...]

It’s been nearly a week since Sen. Russ Feingold’s campaign issued a press release asking Republican Senate candidates Terrence Wall and Dave Westlake if they’d fight for big health insurance companies or regular folks all across Wisconsin, and there’s still been no response from either candidate (or their campaigns) to answer the question.
