MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker hoped a boosted Republican majority in his state legislature would lead to the budget passing quickly. It’d be the perfect kickoff to his all-but-announced presidential campaign. Instead, the spending plan came to his desk Thursday with the most no votes he’s seen from GOP lawmakers, who derided the spending plan as “crap.” Twelve Republican lawmakers voted against it, citing concerns over such things as school funding levels and borrowing to pay for roads. Walker still has plenty to campaign on when he officially launches his candidacy Monday. The budget includes no sales or income tax increases and property taxes are set to be lower in 2016 than they were when Walker took office.
