The Walker Budget Is Already Working! Part II

Not even enacted yet, we can see Walker's budget already having an impact (emphasis mine):
Hamilton said expansion didn't make sense for them right now with the city's current economic situation. He cited the 360 jobs lost at the NewPage Whiting paper mill last February and many people in the Stevens Point area who will face reduced incomes as a result of the state's budget repair bill.

Hamilton said the Supreme Bean will continue its operation in Ministry Saint Michael's Hospital. Despite several relocation offers from other building owners in town, Hamilton said reopening in a new location doesn't make sense right now.

"Who wouldn't want a 22-year business occupying their space?" Hamilton asked. "Apparently, not the Children's Museum."
I, along with every other sentient being, have been pointing out that Walker's plan will drive businesses into the ground and bring our economic recovery to a grinding halt and hurt a lot of private citizens. This is just the beginning of the pain, folks.
