You and the Debt

Are you concerned with the state budget?  Stop complaining and slinging mud.  It's really simple.

At its highest projection, the number to which Governor Walker repeatedly refers, the state will owe $3.7 billion. In an effort to address the governor's estimate, (a number the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance would dispute with its $1.8 billion estimate) each state resident will owe $650. 

If you're a state resident and are concerned with the estimated debt, write your check of $650.  If you're the head of a household, each of your dependents will also owe $650.  Address your check to the "Wisconsin Department of Revenue".

Or, maybe the debt just isn't that important to you.

In the news today, "Twenty Wisconsin school districts were among 388 nationwide named to the AP Achievement List based on their ability to increase participation by students on Advance Placement tests without sacrificing results.  Only six states had more districts on the list than Wisconsin, including more populous states such as California, New York and Pennsylvania."
