Two very different governors
While our governor, Scott Walker, was announcing record cuts to the University of Wisconsin this week and lecturing professors to get to work, Minnesota's Gov. Mark Dayton was proposing a different agenda.
Unlike Walker's Wisconsin, Minnesota has seen some great economic times under Democrat Dayton.
So, sitting on a billion-dollar surplus, the Minnesota chief executive says he will propose to spend half of that surplus on education and policies that benefit children.
Specifically, he proposes to expand the state's child care tax credit and invest $30 million in the University of Minnesota Medical School. Of the $516 million he is proposing for kids, $372 million would go toward education, $44 million for human services and $100 million for the child care tax credits.
Back home in Wisconsin, Walker, who keeps insisting he's turned Wisconsin around, has to figure how to fill a $2 billion budget hole, but he's still hoping to have another tax cut at the same time. Hence, big cuts to the UW and who knows what else are in store for Wisconsin folks when he announces his budget next week.
While Walker has been practicing the austerity economics known as trickle down during his time in office, Dayton's different economic philosophy has produced some happy results — and he isn't even running for president.

NPR gives the drummers some, from Neil Peart to Clyde Stubblefield
http://www.nola.com/music/index.ssf/2015/01/npr_gives_the_drummers_some_fr.html
For its recent "Beat Week" series, National Public Radio's "Morning Edition" strung together five consecutive days of interviews with drummers from across the spectrum of popular music. The interviews, archived on NPR's web site, offer insight into the individual players' styles, as well as their place in the overall pantheon of percussion.
It's a diverse, wide-ranging group. The first installment profiled Clyde Stubblefield and John "Jabo" Starks, who shared drumming duties in James Brown's band from the mid-1960s through the early 1970s. They explain how they, while sharing the stage behind Brown, largely defined funk drumming.
Next up in "Beat Week"? The quintessential straight-ahead rock drummer, Neil Peart of Rush, who has never been accused of being the least bit funky. A master technician – New Orleans fans will have a chance to see him in action when Rush headlines the Smoothie King Center on May 22, 2015 – he expounds on how jazz drummer Gene Krupa may well have been the first rock drummer. "Without Gene Krupa, there wouldn't have been a Keith Moon," Peart said. "He was the first drummer to command the spotlight and the first drummer to be celebrated for his solos, because they were very flamboyant. He did fundamentally easy things, but always made them look spectacular."
The series also chronicled the contributions of Zakir Hussain, a master of the Indian tabla hand drums who has enjoyed a long association with members of the Grateful Dead. Percussionist and bandleader John Santos explained the rhythms used in Afro-Cuban Santeria ceremonies.
Finally, Bobbye Hall, a "liner note legend," describes how she contributed tambourines, triangle, bongos, congas, etc. to countless recordings over the past 40 years by everyone from Bob Dylan to Carole King to Janis Joplin. She is the percussion equivalent of the backing vocalists featured in the 2013 documentary "Twenty Feet From Stardom."
agree Murray, feels like it.
I've spent a large part of my day in the way back machine going through old Drummer posts from 2002/3 and forward......pre Drummer and Missy's Place post's and pre joining ihub for me.....time sure fly's when your having fun. I did learn that you go back a long way 8th. Do you have any good stories from back in the old GALAXY RADIO board days?
This board has withstood the test of time and that is a testimony to the great mods that continue to keep the board as close as possible to what they left.
Instead of "Forward" are we going "Backward"? and we should be renamed "Wississippi"???
It's unbelievably frustrating to be surrounded by all these brain dead tools, and sit back and watch the slimy SOB dismantle our state. I hope I'm still around when one of these Republican puppets win and people forget all about the bad black man and realize they have been taken for a huge ride.
The punk Governor of Wisconsin just cut $300M from its university system the day after he submitted a $220M proposal for a new sports arena.

The latest news out of Madison isn’t good for students at Wisconsin’s public universities: Gov. Scott Walker just announced a plan to cut $300 million in state funding for the publicly funded UW system over two years.
State revenues have been set back by both the recent recession and by a deep tax cut that has not produced the economic growth its proponents expected, leaving Walker no choice but to make drastic cuts to state services in an attempt to balance the budget in advance of his widely anticipated run for president. If Walker’s plan is approved by the legislature, it will likely lead to layoffs, reductions in course offerings, and possibly an increase in tuition when a state-mandated tuition freeze expires in 2017.
Fowler, thx
Bradley....thx
talk about clueless and advertizing one's ignorance...posters done it again. It does appear to me that he's drifting a tad towards the middle with his rhetoric, I'm sure looking for fence votes. He's a slimey, worthless POS, perfect GOP candidate
Another great set my friend....soul candy
I always thought Otis was a tad hard to watch but I loved the crap out of him rockin side to side, I think this guys awkward stage presence adds to the appeal in an I don't want to see him moon walk sort of way. I'm a big fan
