Richfield Administrator Says Walker's Cuts Are Working

RICHFIELD, Wis. -- Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker insists his reforms are working, and the Richfield village administrator agrees.

Joshua Shoemann told 12 News the governor's reforms forced the village to do more with less and forced the village to find creative ways of saving money.

He said village spending levels are now more sustainable.

"Everybody's experiences are different. I mean, everybody's in a little bit different situation depending upon the load of debt that they have or the amount of employees that they have. But for us here in Richfield, the tools have worked thus far," Shoeman said.

1. Shoemann is full of bull. What was to keep the village from being creative in the past? ....

Answer: Nothing, and that's what Scott Walker gave in terms of "tools". Nothing.


Walker is the only "tool" in this conversation.

6. i ran across walker`s "reforms and results" website...

400 million plus and counting tax savings? http://www.reforms.wi.gov/

caterpillar just invested over 800 million and created several hundred new jobs in high tax illinois. i wonder if scotty has done anything that like that?

2. How many jobs has Mr. Shoemann created?

How many jobs has he killed? Has any hiring increased in his area? Has his tax base gone up or down?

Walker fired many. Cost the state many jobs in his Koch loyalty. How has that affected Mr. Shoemann's district?
