MJS keeps showing its anti Walker bias
Once again the MJS has a story how Scott Walker is as evil and treats the citizens of Milwaukee county like an Overlord.
So what crime against humanity is Darth Walker guilty of this time? He is proposing that the weekly discounted bus fare price rise from $13 to the back crushing price of $16. This works out to $156 dollars a year. County Executive Walker is raising the rates for two reasons that the paper does mention,
1.Fuel cost have risen dramatically
2.He must maintain his insane pledge to not raise property taxes.(I may have added the word insane)
But later this summer, the picture changed dramatically as Walker struggled to balance the perennially tight county budget and maintain his pledge to freeze taxes. Also, transit officials were rocked by skyrocketing gas prices that added another $1 million to their projected fuel needs.
The MJS reporter Dave Umhoefer does mention in the above quote that the county budget is, how did he put it "perennially tight county budget" but go read the whole article and gee once again the MJS never says why the county budget is perennially tight.
This is what gets me upset the MJS has decided they cannot live with Scott Walker as Governor so they are carrying Gov Jim Doyle's water by attacking Walker every chance they get. But they always chose to attack Scott for sticking to his property tax freeze but act like the Tom Amiet county board pension smash and grab never happen. If the county board had not given away the store maybe Milwaukee county wouldn't have these budget problem. Wouldn't it be nice in these stories about the tight budget if they actually mentioned why the budget is tight. No they cannot do that, they have to blame it all on Scott Walker and his evil hold the line on property tax pledge.
It is a shame that the MJS believes it has to be a partisan shill for Jim Doyle instead of trying to tell the news. Scott Walker was not the one who let the looters into the county vault and it seems to me the voters of Milwaukee county knew how he would attack these budget problems when they reelected him.
