Bring high-speed rail to Wisconsin
Bob Harlow wants to bring a 200 mile-per-hour high-speed rail network to Wisconsin and pledges to undo Act 10, the 2011 law that stripped most public workers of their collective bargaining rights.In 2010,
Walker campaigned on canceling the high-speed rail plans of his predecessor, Democrat Jim Doyle. And, a few weeks after taking office in 2011, Walker proposed a budget repair bill that included the collective bargaining changes.

On Principles & Values:
Priorities: close deficit, improve schools and jobs
As I assume office today, I have been handed a staggering budget deficit of $4.3 billion dollars. It shouldn’t have happened, but it did. And we’re going to fix it. We can’t do everything... but that’s what we’re faced with. Over the long haul,
my priorities are clear: - Making sure our kids go to even better schools and universities.
- Helping create good, high paying jobs that let people enjoy a good life.
- Not raising taxes on the hardworking people of Wisconsin who already
pay their fair share.
- Helping usher in new high tech and information-age businesses.
- Keeping our citizens safe on their streets and in their neighborhoods.
- Protecting Wisconsin’s incredible environment -
our rivers, our lakes and our streams.
- Listening carefully for the quiet voices - our seniors, those in desperate need of health care, our fellow citizens held back by poverty.
