I wonder how closely the wording of the bill will resemble this one?

Woods.....The money came from the general fund. If you have evidence that it came from elsewhere, please enlighten us WITH PROOF!

10 million went to GM, that never got paid back.
34 million went to the UW so that they could embezzle it, I mean it was a payroll glitch.

1 million was lost on interest...good job Governor Doyle.

It was from the general tax fund that was paid for by taxpayers. What did Doyle do with the money he was supposed to pay back to MN?

Once again...Where did scooter get the funds to pay off Minn.? Just answer the question WITH PROOF!

"If your going to accuse him of misappropriations"
.
Where did I do that??? If you can read...look back, I was ASKING a question......if you can read...

Woody,
Do you have any proof that Walker used funds other than general funds to pay our bills? If your going to accuse him of misappropriations, you could at least come up with some evidence.

And the $60 million being paid back to Minnesota is a drop in the bucket to help their financial situation. Minnesota is facing a $5 BILLION hole in their deficit. Oh, Walker is a breath of fresh air in this state! Their Democratic governor is pushing more tax increases to help balance their budget. Hopefully businesses in MN will look at moving across the border.

I would like this addressed also: http://gazettextra.com/news/2013/jan/26/...


"In an effort to fill the budget gap, the joint committee on finance changed the name of the phone fee and directed that proceeds be directed into state shared revenue, which is the money the state gives local units of government to run their operations."

"When the budget reached then Gov. Jim Doyle’s desk, he used his line-item veto to eliminate the sunset clause, meaning the money will never be directed to pay for 911 upgrades."

Ok who his the wiseguy that left a floater in the toilet this morning????????? HOGS!!

Proof wislady???? Do you have any???

Politicians will always raid various funds to pay for their pet projects. No law will stop them.

It is paid from the General Fund (the fund used for paying bills). Or do you have evidence that Walker stole it from another fund, like Doyle did?

Woody as ex secretary state Clinton would say "at this point what does it matter"

Constitutionally guaranteed pot of cash for campaign contributors. Both sides of the isle should like this one. After all, the tax money does go back to those who gave donations.

Once again...Where did scooter get the funds to pay off Minn.? Did he rob it from the transportation fund or just put it on a credit card? WHERE????

The $60 Million Dollars, that was 17 months late in being paid by Doyle?

"Had former Gov. Jim Doyle paid the amount Minnesota required on the Dec. 1, 2010, due date, it would have cost Wisconsin $58.7 million. The debt grew interest at a rate of about $4,600 per day until Walker paid it off this week at $59.7 million."

Woody,
Why were we in debt to MN again? That's right, Doyle didn't pay the bill. Wait, he also raided the transportation fund. Do you see a trend yet?

About Time!

No governor, Dem. or Repub. should be allowed to divert funds originally designed for anything other than what it was intended for. An emergency fund should be for what it is intended...emergency.
