Wisconsin Gov Walker says state may adjust administrative rules

Gov. Scott Walker says he and his cabinet may adjust state administrative rules where possible, to help job growth. At least one Democratic lawmaker is concerned.

The Republican governor spent the first morning after his recall election victory touring a small manufacturing company in Oak Creek. During the event, Walker said he and his cabinet secretaries will be looking at changing some administrative rules, or enforcement of them.

Walker contends he’s out to help small businesses create jobs and doesn’t want to weaken environmental, health or safety protections.

Madison Democrat Brett Hulsey is on the state Assembly Natural Resources committee. He says he’s concerned about Walker harming the environment.

Hulsey says Walker doesn’t seem interested in compromise, despite the governor’s promise of an upcoming brats, burgers, and beer gathering with all 132 state lawmakers.
