Gov hopeful: All is on table for cuts

Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker says he would consider cutting state-funded medical care for the poor, elderly and disabled in order to reduce state taxes if he’s elected governor next year.

During a stop Friday in Madison on his “Taxes and Truth” campaign tour, Walker told reporters that all of the biggest state programs – including Medicaid, the University of Wisconsin System, state aids to local governments, and the state prison system – could be subject to cuts.
