Facts ignored
To the editor:
Your editorial (Feb. 19) about the budget protests in Wisconsin ignores two vital facts. First, Gov. Walker himself, through executive initiatives he made in his first days of office, bears much of the responsibility for Wisconsin’s budget shortfall. Second, according to the state’s own budget office, the austerity measures Gov. Walker is proposing are not even fiscally necessary. For the Journal-World to omit these facts is misleading, and to label Gov. Walker’s cynical actions as “courage” is troubling.
