Big Spenders on Commentary

Wisconsin Governor Scott McCallum, in his budget repair address announcing his plan to eliminate the State's shared revenue program, said that his plan would be opposed by the "big spenders" at the county and municipal levels. On June 3, 2002 Commentary featured 2 "big spenders" who have been highly critical of McCallum: Winnebago County Executive Jane Van De Hey (far right) and Brown County Executive Nancy Nusbaum. Here's a summary of the program. A Brown County Supervisor recently accused Nusbaum of "extravagant" spending habits.
