Paper checks and direct deposit are still options. Furthermore, I don't believe that Walker directly makes decisions such as this.

One group that will benefit from this change is robbers. A thief need only stand outside the GEF building in Madison on a payday Thursday to pick off the wages of state employees by stealing their debit cards as they exit the building at quitting hour.

You can elect to either receive direct deposit, or this very same card and the fees associated with it. http://dwd.wisconsin.gov/uiben/faq_debit_card.htm<br /><br />Pay particular attention to this: "Some fees may apply. See card packet for full list of fees."<br /><br />And this: "How do I obtain information about fees for my card?<br /> Fees are located on the Fee Schedule sent to you with your card. You may also call Cardmember Services at 866-276-5114 to request fee information. "<br /><br /><br />It's nice that we're making sure large banks are getting a cut of Wisconsin taxpayer's money, because we know how much banks have been hurting. I'm sure this will stimulate economic activity and job growth though. There's nothing quite as economically stimulative as removing money from the hands of consumers who might spend it in the local economy, transferring it instead to a large, out of state bank. Yeah, that's a great way to stimulate demand.
