Walker guts farmland preservation efforts

[omgangiepants]

Farmland will be less expensive to develop and harder for farm families to permanently protect under a series of proposals in Gov. Scott Walker’s budget

Is he trying to win an award for World's Biggest Douchecanoe?

He also hates trains. And green energy.

Well, if we're gonna get into things and concepts he hates instead of just groups of people, he also hates the law and the metaphysical concept of shame.

is there anything he doesnt hate at this point?

[brewsternorth]

Anyone with pots of money.

Conversely, his list of likes: rich people, his corporate owners, himself.

Keep slashing, buddy. The more you cut, the more funding your opponents raise for a recall next year. :p

Edited for spelling fail.

God, that sucks. Just this kind of program is what makes my hometown such a wonderful place - lots of farmland interspersed with neighborhoods, so that you can take walks alongside actively farmed lands and through old-growth stands of woods that are protected because of farmland preservation projects. It's why we have organic beef and dairy, not to mention corn and other seasonal vegetables, fresh grown and local. I love it so much, and I hate to see that Walker wants to destroy that way of life.
