Wisconsin?s new chief executive is not wasting any time seeking allies.
Governor-elect Scott Walker is asking the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents to help balance the state budget. With a deficit of nearly $3 billion, the Republican told University officials Thursday he and the incoming legislature face a quote ?formidable task,? and a serious challenge ahead. ?But I said repeatedly in the job I currently hold and will say again as governor that great challenges bring great opportunities. And it?s not always going to be easy.?
