'''Scott Kevin Walker''' (born November 2, 1967 in Colorado Springs, Colorado) is the current [[conservative]] Governor of [[Wisconsin]] and a member of the [[Republican Party]]. Previously he was Executive of Milwaukee County and a member of the Wisconsin State Assembly, and while in college he ran a student [[pro-life]] organization.  He faces a recall election on June 5, 2012, but by late May [[liberals]] were already beginning to blame each other for Walker's lead in the polls: "Top [[union]] officials are lashing out at Washington [[Democrat]]s, claiming they haven't done enough to help them unseat Gov. [[Scott Walker]] (R) in [[Wisconsin]]'s [[recall]] election."<ref>http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/229485-unions-angry-with-washington-democrats-over-lack-of-help-in-wisconsin</ref>

==Budget Deficit==

Wisconsin has a budget deficit of more than $3 billion. Instead of raising taxes, the governor has set out on a mission to reduce costs across the board and to make Wisconsin a business-friendly state. The state's labor unions are in an uproar and are protesting Walker's decision to end union collective bargaining and force employees to fund part of their pensions, as well as to contribute to their own health and life insurance.
