Education governor now education candidate.

Last month Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker signed his name (in cursive) to a state budget that cut funding for the University of Wisconsin by $250 million. The budget also cut funding for most K-12 school districts. It approved public funds for more vouchers for tuition at private and religious schools and created a new “special needs” voucher that actually cuts into protections for special needs students.

Thirty-five school principals (with identical handwriting) have written the oblivious to the obvious Walker that his education budget is hurting their schools.
