Scott Walker's latest budget may telegraph his 2018 strategy - MATTHEW DeFOUR, Madison.com

Gov. Scott Walker’s latest budget proposal has left little doubt that he plans to run for re-election in 2018 and may telegraph his strategy for winning a third term. Walker has said he won’t announce a decision until after the budget wraps up this summer. But after his approval rating tanked during a short-lived presidential run in 2015, he spent time last year hosting private meetings around the state and announced plans to ratchet up his campaign fundraising. The latest sign of an imminent run is a 2017-19 budget proposal chock-full of new spending that offers something for just about everyone. http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/govt-and-politics/scott-walker-s-latest-budget-may-telegraph-his-strategy/article_910683b7-ee53-5ce5-9baa-b7091b3eca18.html
