The public hasnt called for this. Most people in the state want decisions about the environment to be based on science, not politics.
The Left wants Lysenkosim: "...Lysenkoism is used metaphorically to describe the manipulation or distortion of the scientific process as a way to reach a predetermined conclusion as dictated by an ideological bias, often related to social or political objectives..."
NYT (June 8, 2015) - G.O.P. Assault on Environmental Laws ["Batty suggestion from Gov. Scott Walker"]
Mother Jones (March 11, 2015) - Scott Walker Is the Worst Candidate for the Environment
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (May 29, 2015) - Budget committee poised to ease DNR, UW System cuts - Walker moves the budget ball his way
Wonderful. I’ll bet we could cut national budget outlays by 50% if we had a panel of Freepers cut the ideological items out of the budget. (You can’t trust politicians because they bargain. You vote for my bridge to nowhere and I’ll vote for your clitoris museum.)
That is absolutely right. Focus on hunting and fishing. That in itself will protect the environment the way it should be. Good for Wisconsin.
I’m quite sure the good Governor agrees with the way his budget mandate is being carried out.
BTW, I don’t live in Wisconsin, but I am an avid, long-time Packer fan. Does that qualify me to render opinions on Wisconsin business?
Isn't that why all these guys got fired ?
The science is settled....so we don’t need to pay for more research.
Most people in the state want decisions about the environment to be based on science, not politics
Yep, they sure do. But, the person stating the above has the inherent assumptions that the unpoliticized science favors the ‘rat position and that the scientists working in those fields are not politicized albeit in her favor.
So those in charge want the department working on functional local issues not global warming which Wisconsin cannot control. Sounds reasonable.
Budget cutting is easy. Simply collect the budgets and the organizational charts for every state agency and university, do word searches for:
Green
Environmental
Diversity
Equality
Inclusion
Climate
Gender
Women’s
Friendly
Cultural
and cut nearly all or entirely all of whatever it is you find.
All projection from the loony left.
Is this in any way similar to that idiot Senator from Rhode Island saying that "climate deniers" should be subject to provisions of the RICO statute?
Re: My tagline: Defund the Left....completely!
Thus far, Walker is the only Presidential candidate that gets it.
The Left has thrown the kitchen sink at him and he caught it, reinstalled it, and is now watching the Left circle the drain as he withdraws the main source of their funding, our tax dollars.
He gets it. But even more important, he’s been willing to act on it.
If they weren't specifically hired to do that, they should have been fired. If they were specifically hired to do that, then whomever hired them should be fired.
Typical liberal has it exactly backward.
The Republicans need to throw this back in their faces. There have been catastrophic national and economic policies that the public hasn't called for.
That would be funny if I wasn't choking on the hypocrisy.
“...Most people in the state want decisions about the environment to be based on science, not politics. ...
Then the firings are perfectly OK since most of the climate change “scientists” have declared their offices “science free zones”.
“Democrats say the GOP is retaliating against researchers in areas they oppose for political reasons. “
Democrats would NEVER do something like that.
Elections have consequences.
This is what democracy looks like.
