Where The Money Scott Walker Is Cutting From Universities Is Going

[francoHFW]

So if a republican supports increasing taxes to build a stadium or arena to retain a professional sports franchise its bad and yet the honor role of democrats doing the same is as long or longer? Do as I say not as I do?????

Well, you can put me down as opposing this sort of thing no matter who happens to be in office.

So where are all posts opposing Obama's illegal wars?

Didn't happen, hater dupe. Less than 60 days, no boots on ground.

The university will simply have to cut the budget for inviting speakers on campus, like Hillary who charges universities $275,000 per speech.

Hillary Clinton s 275K Speaking Fee Comes with Diva Demands - Breitbart

As long as universities pay such excessive amounts to speakers, we should all be deaf to their pleas for more money.

 

[Kosh]

Mr. Walker’s plan comes as he looks to bring spending in line with a slowdown in revenue growth following recent tax cuts he backed, which have left Wisconsin with a projected operating deficit.}

Mostly it comes with the two year freeze on tuition increases. to provide relief to students who face an every increasing mountain of debt for a basic education.

Nice deficit. Guy can't even balance a state budget.

Nor could Obama, Pelosi or Reid yet they are in positions of power..

When did they try to balance a state budget?

Clinton balanced the budget.

No Clinton did not balance the budget in Washington, the Conservative Congress in Washington balanced the budget.

See how these far left drones continue to show they do not understand how things work, it is all bout their religious narrative.

However you far left drones rewrite history so it will fit your very small minded narrative.

Sure they did. We have a conservative congress now, where is the balanced budget? Last I checked they were working on a tax break for the richest.

See how this far left drone went right to the debunked far left religious dogma?

When will the far left allow a balanced budget?

Where was the balanced budget when Pelosi and Reid were in charge? Show any budget proposed by Obama (by using the actual numbers) that balanced said budget?

Why do you believe the right wants a balanced budget? Did you miss the bush presidency? Took a balanced budget and just destroyed it. Reagan was a huge spender.

Where The Money Scott Walker Is Cutting From Universities Is Going ThinkProgress

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN — On Thursday, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker unveiled the latest plan for building a new $500 million basketball stadium for the Milwaukee Bucks, half of which would be paid for with taxpayer money, and half by the team’s current and former owners. Because stadium projects — including Milwaukee’s own Miller Park — have been known to run significantly over budget, the public contribution would be capped at $250 million.

This is exactly the amount that Governor Walker and his allies in the legislature plan to cut from the University of Wisconsin system.

Flanked by posters reading “Cheaper To Keep Them,” Governor Walker argued that building a new stadium is more responsible than repairing the old one, or potentially losing the NBA team to another city.

“The price of ‘no’ has a cost, and we believe it’s at least $419 million dollars over the next 20 years,” said Walker, as he explained that under his new plan, $80 million dollars in stadium funding would come from all Wisconsin taxpayers, and the remaining $170 million from “a variety of sources at the local level.”

“For every dollar the state invests, it’s three dollars in return,” claimed Walker. “By every measure, it truly protects the taxpayers. It’s not only important to Milwaukee, but it’s also something I can say is a good for lawmakers anywhere in the state.”

But many Wisconsinites, including economics professor Michael Rosen at Milwaukee Area Technical College, vehemently disagree.

“You could do more for the local economy by taking a plane over the city of Milwaukee and dropping $500 million dollars down. That would generate more economic activity than building a stadium,” he told ThinkProgress. “People have a fixed entertainment budget. So if they go see the Bucks and spend $60 or $80 on a ticket, that’s money they’re not using to go to the theater or movies or out to eat. It’s not new money, it’s just redistributed. That’s why stadiums have no positive impact on economic growth.” He also noted that most Bucks player don’t live year-round in Milwaukee, so “millions of dollars in their salaries will leak out of the community.”

Milwaukee workers say they’ll oppose any Bucks stadium deal that doesn’t guarantee good wages and local hiring.

All week, as rumors of the plan negotiated behind closed doors leaked to the public, residents voiced their frustrations.

“It’s just wrong,” Denise Brown, who lives in Ozaukee County just outside Milwaukee, told ThinkProgress. “They could have taken that same money and left it in the University of Wisconsin, where my son got a good education. And if they wanted to help the neighborhood, it could have benefitted a lot more from a job-producing factory than this future piece of blight.”

Many Republicans oppose the plan as well, and have called for it to be stripped out of the state budget and receive a stand-alone vote. The Koch Brothers’ group Americans for Prosperity’s Wisconsin chapter called the proposal a “bad deal for Wisconsin taxpayers,” noting: “Government shouldn’t be in the business of financing private sports stadiums.”

Milwaukee’s arch-conservative sheriff David Clarke called the plan “snake oil” and “corporate welfare.”

Others are more conflicted, citing threats from the NBA to pack up and leave if they don’t get a new stadium by 2017.

“It’s controversial but it’s going to get done,” said Milwaukee native Keith Bailey, who organized faith outreach for President Obama’s 2008 campaign. “We can’t lose the Bucks. We love our Bucks.”

County Supervisor Supreme Moore Omokunde, who represents the Milwaukee neighborhood where the stadium will be located, told ThinkProgress he and his district have had no say in the deal. “I have not been involved in any of the negotiations. My voice has not been heard,” he said. “I’m a Bucks fan. As a son of Milwaukee, I would welcome a good deal. But the current deal we have is not a good deal. We cannot build a stadium on the backs of poor people and people of color.”

On Thursday, joined by dozens of local workers and activists, Omokunde announced a set of demands aimed at making sure that if the stadium deal does pass the legislature, his community would see a benefit both during the construction process and in the years to come.

Economics teacher and Milwaukee resident Luz Sosa laid out the coalition’s priorities. “We need a legal, binding document for the Bucks owners to pledge to hire local people from our communities and pay them a living wage — $15 dollars an hour minimum — and give them the right to unionize,” she said.

Many present at the event, including Rosen, argued that though an area deal may be inevitable, there are much better uses of public dollars.

“This deal was cut by people who were born with silver spoons in their mouths,” he said. “They don’t know what it means to live in inner city districts. They don’t have contact with people like the students I teach every day from Milwaukee’s poorest neighborhoods, who are working two jobs and can’t get their heads above water. Our elected officials need to better look out for the people of this community, who need parks, who need social services and health care. But all of those things have had no priority. The only priority seems to be making this deal.”

The state legislature has to pass a budget, with or without the stadium funding, by the end of June.

A nutjob who reads ThinkProgress and proudly cites them as though they're a reputable news source wouldn't understand much of anything.

It's kind of a tradition for Pub and Dem staffers, had nothing to do do with the Clintons, and is just more overblown Pubcrappe propaganda for hater dupes. Breaking: A-hole who said he fired Hillary during Watergate is totally FOS, Hillary didn't shoot Foster, Bengaziiiiiii, etc etc etc etc etc etc...

Any actual argument against FACTS, Breitbart brain? lol

 

[Political Junky]

GOP wants to keep folks stupid, so they're easier to manipulate.

 

[Theowl32]

Yeap, the left sure are not "for the rich."

This entire thread started by the fucking moronic pawn of the democrat party and ALL of the hypocrites on the left is nothing but a fucking walking billboard. That is all. That is it.

Holy shit liberals are so fucking stupid.

 

[initforme]

1). If any of you live in Wisk then you know what is happening here... if you don't live in Wisc. you have NO CLUE.. Pretty ironic when a college dropout(a person who can't cut it in college), is making the decisions for higher education. As far as unions, if we didn't have them or the laws we have now, you can bet your life that greedy corporations would be into worker exploitation and would willingly sacrifice the lives of its workers. I have zero faith or trust in any corporation to do the right thing if given the chance to skirt around the rules. A person with a strong work ethic, that works very hard, is good with people, and is willing to do whatever it takes will have no chance to EVER get ahead in our country. The change happened in the early 80's so whoever was prez then gets the blame in my eyes. Businesses that are always looking to keep labor costs low are those that one should never apply for. Remember if you pretend too pay me, I pretend to work and every hard working person should abide by this law.

 

[Theowl32]

GOP wants to keep folks stupid, so they're easier to manipulate.

Fucking dipshit hypocritical moron.

 

[initforme]

The guilt for greed lies in both parties;

"You pretend to pay me, I pretend to work."

So if a republican supports increasing taxes to build a stadium or arena to retain a professional sports franchise its bad and yet the honor role of democrats doing the same is as long or longer? Do as I say not as I do?????

Well, you can put me down as opposing this sort of thing no matter who happens to be in office.

So where are all posts opposing Obama's illegal wars?

Which ones are those?

 

[Borillar]

Mr. Walker’s plan comes as he looks to bring spending in line with a slowdown in revenue growth following recent tax cuts he backed, which have left Wisconsin with a projected operating deficit.}

Mostly it comes with the two year freeze on tuition increases. to provide relief to students who face an every increasing mountain of debt for a basic education.

Nice deficit. Guy can't even balance a state budget.

Nor could Obama, Pelosi or Reid yet they are in positions of power..

When did they try to balance a state budget?

Clinton balanced the budget.

No Clinton did not balance the budget in Washington, the Conservative Congress in Washington balanced the budget.

See how these far left drones continue to show they do not understand how things work, it is all bout their religious narrative.

However you far left drones rewrite history so it will fit your very small minded narrative.

So, did Republicans suddenly forget how to balance a budget the minute a Republican became president? Or do balanced budgets only matter when the president is a Democrat? BTW, Republibot says "far left drones"?
