  • Scott Walker appeared on Fox News for an interview on September 1, 2015, to discuss the economy, foreign affairs and the northern border. Walker said of the U.S. economy, “I think we grow it by growing the economy out in cities towns and villages across this country. The best thing we can do is get the government out of the way.”[2]
  • According to Scott Walker's official gubernatorial page, he has achieved $1 billion in savings for taxpayers from government reform. Some of the reform initiatives in Wisconsin's 2013 biennial budget include the consolidation of government programs like the Office of Justice Assistance and the Department of Justice and an increase in the number of fraud investigators at the state Department of Revenue.[3]
  • In 2012, Walker issued an executive order requiring state agencies to cooperate with the Small Business Regulatory Review Board "to identify rules hindering economic growth." As a result, more than 300 rules were modified to facilitate the growth of businesses in the state of Wisconsin.[4][5]
  • On May 23, 2011, Walker signed Wisconsin Act 2, which "changes State agency authority to promulgate rules, provides for gubernatorial approval of proposed rules, makes revisions to the requirement of an economic impact analysis for proposed rules and changes venue in the process of judicial review of agency rules," according to The National Law Review.[6]
