Somewhere out there in academia there’s a master’s or Ph.D thesis in the works to explain how Wisconsin GOP Gov. Scott Walker could go from featured speaker at his party’s 2016 national convention to defeated incumbent just two years later. Here’s a workable framework: He did it by his own clumsy hand.
The outgoing Walker administration delivered Gov.-elect Tony Evers a dose of good news for his first budget with the state expected to have new revenues of $2.1 billion through mid-2021. Still, that was tempered somewhat by agency budget requests that
