Walker does have a budget problem for upcoming years:

“The latest estimates by the Legislature’s nonpartisan budget office jumped by more than $1.1 billion over the previous estimate of a $642 million gap released in May. The projections from the Legislative Fiscal Bureau were released Monday for the budget beginning in July 2015 and ending in June 2017”.

Its a forecast!

Its deliberately put together with NO REVENUE growth. Walker and the Republicans didn’t get elected yesterday, they managed the last budget (which started with the same deficit) and ended with a surplus after giving Wisconsin taxpayers a tax cut.

Wisconsin’s assembly will adopt a balanced budget in the next couple of weeks. There will be some borrowing for the second mega interchange project which cannot be delayed.
