Watched my home state go from one of the most Progressive to something akin to Somali. Wisconsin and Kansas are the new model State Governments,and,with the Koch money funding the Brich Libertarian model people better get a grip. And Casino's are not going to save their butts,and you can not cut to save. Waiting to see any new data as to the pending catastrophe that has hit these states. From what we hear from the relatives in Wisconny,it is not pretty. For those less fortunate,persons with disabilities or health issues as well as unemployed,are getting crushed by service cuts and payment amounts being cut or being eliminated. Like I say,from first to worst.
