The Political Environment: Again, Walker's Wisconsin Is #35

Tuesday, March 25, 2014

First it was our stalled job growth. We're 35th.

Now, income growth since the recession, and what do you know? We're 35th!

Anonymous said...: Do we have any idea where Wisconsin stands relative to adding to our debt compared to our neighbors. There are some reports that Walker is preparing to issue bonds to borrow nearly $400 million for transportation which would be the largest transportation borrowing ever. There is also the possibility that he negotiated a sale of general obligation refunding bonds of close to $300 million. If Walker is selling debt that means he is selling bonds [ promissory notes that pay interest] that increases long term debt. If the reports of this borrowing are accurate that means $700 million in new debt just recently added to his previous debt increases. Some how the $1 billion surplus appears contrived!; March 26, 2014 at 8:22 AM
