Walker Gets One Thing Right

From the All Politics Blog:
He won't cut funding for the Kosciuszko and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. community centers in his 2009 budget, Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker said today.

That makes the second time in two years that the county Parks and Recreation Department has proposed cutting the popular centers but Walker resisted the move. Last year, Walker said he'd keep funding the centers after community groups complained.

This year Walker signaled his intention days before budget hearings by the County Board's Finance and Audit Committee were to be held at the Kosciuszko center at 2201 S. 7th St. and the King center at 1531 W. Vliet St.

Of course, they wouldn't have been on the chopping block in the first place if Walker wasn't blinded by his obsession to be governor.

Here's hoping that he makes other worthwhile decisions, but I won't be holding my breath. Walker is due to unveil his budget on September 25th.
