No, Walker didn't start the problem with our parks' funding - that was his predecessor, Jim Doyle, who, though not a Republican, was also a not-awesome guy. The parks have been running on a non-existent budget and skeleton staff for several years now, a real shame considering how amazing they are. Walker would like to make things worse, though, by further cutting their budgets. DNR employees are almost working themselves to death for non-existant pay as it is, but hey, let's squeeze more money out of their budget! There's some pretty strong indications that Walker would also happily sell off at least some of our parks and let them be developed - to put it simply, he doesn't give a sh*t about them.
