Goal #2: Cut Government Spending Wisconsin Has Too Much Government

Wisconsin is not a particularly high spending state.
- In FY 2002, WI ranked 19th in state and local spending relative to personal income
Wisconsin solved its fiscal crisis with spending cuts, and our personal income growth has been above the national average, so our spending ranking has almost certainly fallen
Voters want spending cuts, but not cuts in public services

Wisconsin is not a particularly high spending state.
