#3 No mention by the LC Tribune (think - NYT without the entertainment section), of course, that Gov. Walker's predecessor (yup, a 'D') raided the state's transportation Road Funds big time for 'other programs' including a $50M Jobs Program that 'successfully' trained a total of 202 people and $14M in down payments on a 'High-Speed Rail' system that was never built (Walker quashed that when first in office).
