What Gov. Scott Walker Can Teach America

October 10, 2013 By Richard C. Young

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker

Here you read how Wisconsin has been made business friendly and fiscally sound. Governor Scott Walker outlines his reform agenda in the Washington Post.

Like most Americans, I think government is too big and too expansive, but the government that is necessary should work — and work well.

Working with the state legislature, we took a $3.6 billion budget deficit and turned it into a budget surplus of more than half a billion dollars. And we built the largest rainy-day fund balance in state history.

Tough but prudent decisions put us back on track. We enacted long-term structural reforms that include allowing schools to bid out health insurance, local governments to stop overtime abuse and the state to collect reasonable contributions for health insurance and pensions — all of which saved millions. Instead of austerity, we chose reform.
