School cuts raise doubts among some GOP voters
Do you see the trouble here? Stupid voters are stupid. The lieberal media find ONE woman who’s a little unhappy and make a meal of it and thus the Holy cause is damaged!
What the US wants now is fiscal conservatism in the extreme. Only then can we move to virtually no government spending and a theocracy. How could it be that the lard brained Ms Feest (probably a lesbian wiccan) doesn’t want to support those very policies that she advocated with her vote?
Did she think that some invisible magic fairy would grant her wish and exempt her from the vicissitudes the lower paid must face? Was she voting for herself and not the good of America and her state? These people make me sick!
I see her as the poisonous rabble that infests the Godly Tea-party – it’s her type that come along with badly spelled banners, fat faces and trailer trash intellect that give the GOP a bad name. You never hear this sort of garbage in the better Republican Clubs and causes!
I hope her damnable children never learn to read and write!
BROOKFIELD, Wis. — Barb Feest wishes she could take back her vote for Wisconsin governor.
The suburban Milwaukee woman cast her ballot for Republican Scott Walker in November. But she could only shake her head recently as she listened at a public forum to how Walker's proposed budget cuts could affect schools.
"He's trying to balance the budget on the backs of teachers," Feest said. "It took so long to get our schools where they are, and they're going to cut it down in, what, two years? It's not right."
Almost five months after the election, Feest and some other Republican voters are having doubts about their choices at the ballot box. Although they consider themselves fiscal conservatives, many of the same people who put Walker and other GOP leaders into office are now having second thoughts, largely because the cuts they are seeking could put the quality of their cherished local schools at risk.
To ease a projected $3.6 billion budget deficit, Walker has sought to eliminate collective-bargaining rights for most public employees, including teachers — a move that has stirred an intense national debate about union rights and drawn tens of thousands of protesters to the Capitol.
But that's not Walker's only school-related proposal. His two-year spending plan includes an 8 percent cut in aid to schools — about $835 million. And he wants to require districts to reduce their property-tax authority by an average of $550 per pupil — a move that makes it more difficult for schools to compensate for the lost money.
