Scott Walker did that less than two years ago, when only Milwaukee County was suffering under his reign of error.
Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker tells a Madison radio talk show host he pulled the trigger on county employee layoffs briefly last week as a strategy aimed at encouraging the County Board to come up with alternative savings.
"I needed to get their attention to show how serious we were about having a balanced budget," Walker says on "Sly in the Morning" on Madison station WTDY (AM 1670). Walker commented as part of a "radio blitz" he says he did on Monday.
The supervisors found more than $500,00o in cuts. Walker subsequently rescinded the layoffs of 180 workers.
Scott Walker makes threats of layoffs like he makes calls to Charlie Sykes: all the time.
The kicker:
Walker also jokes that being governor would be easeir than working as county executive.
Maybe not so much.
