Priorities: close deficit, improve schools and jobs
As I assume office today, I have been handed a staggering budget deficit of $4.3 billion dollars. It shouldn't have happened, but it did. And we're going to fix it. We can't do everything... but that's what we're faced with. Over the long haul,
my priorities are clear:
Making sure our kids go to even better schools and universities.
Helping create good, high paying jobs that let people enjoy a good life.
Not raising taxes on the hardworking people of Wisconsin who already
pay their fair share.
Helping usher in new high tech and information-age businesses.
Keeping our citizens safe on their streets and in their neighborhoods.
