Since Tony Evers has never experienced managing a revenue shortfall, and since the State's tax revenues WILL take a serious hit this quarter, the question becomes "What Will Tony Do?"
Are all State employees "essential"?
Really?
Which Department of Education employees are "essential" when not one kid is in school in the entire State? How many Revenooer auditors are "essential" when 25-33% of businesses are closed? Does the LtGov still need limo-services courtesy of the Capitol police? How about that UW-System? Is every single Administration employee "essential"?
For that matter, have Fitzie and Vos thought about layoffs/furloughs for Leggie employees? Why not? Don't tell me that every single office aide is overwhelmed with work. They're not--or won't be after your last session, when all the lobbyists go home. One more thing: are lobbyists "essential"?
Really??
We don't expect Tokin'Tony to respond, of course. That's too many things for his poor little head to worry about, what with limiting church attendance to "drive-in" or "10-person max", and all.
Tony prolly intends to burn the entire projected budget surplus AND the FedGov "aid" money to protect State employees (union folks, of course) from any harm. He knows who he has to protect.
One last question: how come izzit that the "news" "reporters" haven't asked these questions? Are they too damn busy figuring out how to blame Republicans and Trump for all this?? (That's rhetorical. You know the answer.)
