Skirmish Over Stimulus Funding Has Winners And Losers

So Milwaukee County will apply for stimulus funds after all, as the drama over County Exec. Scott Walker's synthetic opposition grinds to a merciful halt.

The winners:

Milwaukee County taxpayers, who because of County Board leadership, should see some service and infrastructure improvements, though their applications go to the back of the line.

Another winner: Gov. Jim Doyle, who benefits from Walker's self-inflicted wound during his obsessive campaign for Doyle's job.

The loser: the indifferent, then indecisive, and finally, out-voted and defeated Walker, who put self-serving alliances with talk radio and their ideological templates above the interests of his constituents.
