The Walker Budget Is Already Working! Part XC

Despite already taking the title for being the best job killer in the entire country, Scott Walker isn't about to take a break from his sacred duty of making this the worst state ever by killing all the jobs:
The Bruce Co. in Middleton will lay off 20 people and reorganize its landscape construction division to adjust to the continuing slump in new development, as well as declining revenues from snow removal work.

Some seasonal workers also may be affected, the company said Tuesday.
"We will lose some talented, devoted workers in this difficult move required by changing market conditions," President and CEO Bliss Nicholson said.

The Bruce Co. is one of Wisconsin's largest residential and commercial landscape contractors. Its other divisions include golf course maintenance, commercial and residential irrigation systems and aquatic products.

The job cuts were mostly confined to the landscape construction division, including supporting positions such as mechanics and truck drivers.
Walker is driving this economy all right. He's driving it right into the ground. Recall or indictment, either way, it's not happening fast enough.

  1. Local boosters were once fond of calling Madison the "Athens of the Midwest". Now Wisconsin is the the "Greece of the Midwest". Austerity kills.
