Tom Still: After Dem trifecta: Governing with state economy in mind

Wisconsin’s new Democratic legislative majority and governor-elect David Crowley will face difficult choices when they take office in January, columnist Tom Still writes. He urges the incoming government to consider the state economy while addressing public-sector bargaining rules, rising property taxes and the use of a reported $3.3 billion general fund balance. Still cautions that the reserve is not a windfall against the state’s spending needs.
