High speed rail is not the only thing Governor-elect Scott Walker wants to stop. Walker, in a letter (PDF) to Dan Schoof, Department of Administration Secretary for the lame duck Doyle administration, is requesting the following:
- temporarily freeze any new implementation of the federal health care law, including the establishment of exchanges, until after January 3rd.
- that all contract negotiations be suspended until after January 3rd so that they may be considered in the context of the 2011-13 State Budget.
- not to finalize any permanent civil service personnel during the final two months of the administration.
- begin making plans to shift to natural gas rather than bio-fuel at the Charter Street Power Plant.
- delay the promulgation of any new, or updated, administrative rules until after January 3rd.
