Walker manipulates school aids, budget history

In the beginning there was this:
Walker budget will cut $1 b. in school, local aid
Fast forward to 9/20/17 position:
Walker Vetoes Budget Item to Help for Low-Revenue Schools
But now that the campaign is on, there's the  3/12/18 pander:
Gov. Walker signs bill increasing aid for rural schools on Monday
Repeated across his his official and personal Twitter pages:
Enjoyed traveling to northern Wisconsin today to talk about how Wisconsin is working with our historic investments in education, including our Sparsity Aid increase for rural communities – raising the per-student investment from $300 to $400.
Spent this afternoon with students in Erin School District to highlight our historic investment in K-12 education, additional increase in funding for rural schools...

Ditto for his Facebook pages:
Our bipartisan legislation to increase Sparsity Aid for rural communities – from $300 per student to $400 – is on top of our already historic investments in education. Every child in Wisconsin deserves a quality education, regardless of zip code.

Cashton School District will receive an increase in funding like many rural schools throughout the state.
