Walker's budget repair bill targets DNR wardens
On Saturday afternoon, I saw various protesters at the Capitol fighting for a number of causes. What really caught my attention, however, were the numerous Department of Natural Resources wardens present. I asked two of them, ""Is Scott Walker cutting your benefits, too?"" The only response they gave me was a grim nod. When I spoke to another warden, he responded by informing me that many DNR employees plan to retire shortly. When I ran across a forester outside of the Capitol, she was not happy about Gov. Scott Walker's plan. She told me DNR employees don't make much as it is and they are subject to added burdens from the budget repair bill.
