About Scott Walker: Scott Kevin Walker is the 45th Governor of Wisconsin, serving since 2011, and a candidate for the Republican Party's nomination to the 2016 presidential election.
I'd like now and into the future to play a bigger role not only in Wisconsin and the Midwest, but nationally. I'd like to have an impact.
It's time to put our differences aside and find ways to work together to move Wisconsin forward.
A wise governor told me a long time ago, political capital you don't get more of by keeping it. You get it by using it.
Like many places across the country, Wisconsin lost more than 100,000 jobs from 2008 to 2010. Unemployment during that time topped out at over 9%.
The real bottom line is, the national unions want their hands on the money.
So let me be clear, Collective bargaining isn't a right, it is an expensive entitlement. Once and for all, we are giving the taxpayers a voice in this debate. We put the power back in the hands of the people.
