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.)
They hired these guys when the rats were in control to give the results the rats wanted, the kind that allowed the government to grab more land and power. Therefore firing them IS political. Walker and the legislature are protecting the citizenry from democrats, which is precisely what they were elected to do.
““It has to be political,” Rep. Chris Taylor, D-Madison, a member of the Legislature’s budget committee, said of the cuts. “The public hasn’t called for this. Most people in the state want decisions about the environment to be based on science, not politics.””
Because the way they got the gig in the first place was by being scientists and not corrupted by the political left.
