A July 7, 2014, press release from the governor's office is headlined, "State of Wisconsin Saves more than $1 million with new banking deal."
Gov. Walker boasts, "this banking renegotiation is another example of how we are focused on efficiently and effectively managing state government and making the best use of taxpayer dollars. We are saving taxpayer resources while maintaining core government services."
Ya don't say. With these whopping savings of $1.2 million over four years, it will only take Wisconsin taxpayers 73 years of savings like this to repay the additional $22 million in interests that will be owed on the refinanced state long-term borrowing that Walker ran out for well over 20 years, in order to tell the low information or blissfully blind voters of Wisconsin that he (Walker) balanced the budget.
This fine example of efficient and effective financial and mathematical genius must have come from the same school of bad thought that Walker utilized when he told Wisconsinites that his "laser-like focus was on creating 250,000 jobs."
