Stevens Point -- After four hours of testimony, almost no one has spoken in favor of Gov. Scott Walker’s proposed budget.
Walker’s fellow Republicans who run the Legislature said they were not surprised.
“You can see why (the Joint Finance Committee) usually does a bad job. The spenders always show up,” said Sen. Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend), a committee member.

He and Sen. Alberta Darling (R-River Hills), a committee co-chairwoman, said most people express their budget preferences at the ballot box, rather than by coming to committee hearings.

Thursday, April 7, 2011 Alberta Darling Provides Bulletin Board Material For Her Recall

2. The "spenders" *have* to show up |
|
Because they don't appear to have any representation in the legislature. The wealthy needn't worry, because their bought-and-paid-for stooges occupy the committee chairs, so their preferences always get full consideration.
