Walker has new way to stick it to lower-income cities

Right-wing Alaska-tour-guide-in training and Wisconsin GOP Gov. Scott Walker, foe of public schools and cities where minorities and Democrats just happen to live, figures out yet another way to screw urban Wisconsin and get more state school money into his suburban, small town and whiter base communities:
Gov. Scott Walker's budget would do more than just increase state aid to schools — it would also double down on a significant change to how that aid gets divvied up among districts. 
Under the GOP governor's two-year budget bill, the state would put $509 million more into a relatively new form of school aid that doesn't account for the poverty of school districts or their students.
