Tonight from 7-8 p.m. is the first sham "debate" between the establishment candidates for governor, Jim Doyle and Mark Green. Today's Journal Sentinel reports that neither of these characters are serious about balancing the state's budget: "Both Doyle and Green have positioned themselves as budget hawks. But when it comes to offering specific budget-balancing plans, they speak only in generalities."
The Green Party candidate for governor, Nelson Eisman, proposes a restoration of progressivity in our tax policy as the way to balance the budget. Unfortunately, the few people who will actually be watching the Doyle/Green snooze fest won't be hearing Eisman as the "We the People" (what people?) outfit has decided he is not worthy of being on the stage with candidates who will make the state's budget problems worse.
