Pocan & Larson release response to Walker's “misleading” Waste, Fraud and Abuse report

Alternative report shows savings of hundreds of millions of dollars
MADISON – State Representative Mark Pocan (D-Madison) and State Senator Chris Larson (D-Milwaukee), who served on Governor Walker’s Waste, Fraud and Abuse Commission, today spoke out against the final report recently released by the commission.
The Walker report takes credit for savings the state has nothing to do with or savings already accounted for from previous actions of state government. The misleading report did not even include a final vote for passage by its members before completion. While Governor Walker has publicly touted his report, he has yet to release the report because it does not stand up to scrutiny, according to Pocan and Larson.
