"Walker threatens to sue the state
Payments for public assistance in dispute
By Steve Schultze of the Journal Sentinel

Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker on Wednesday threatened to sue the state over its demand for several million dollars from the county to support public assistance programs.

Walker's move comes as state and county officials continue to haggle over just how much the county spent last year on administering food, health care and child care aid programs. The state is taking over the programs later this year, saying deserving families have been denied benefits under the county's watch.

As part of that transition, the state has called on the county to pay $3.55 million next year to help cover costs of running the programs. The payment is intended to reflect the same amount the county is now spending on administering them. County officials say the figure should be $2.4 million.

The two sides appeared no closer to a resolution, as Walker said the county should pay nothing.

"If the state is going to take it over, they should take it all over," Walker said.

If the state persists, he may sue, the county executive said. He said the state's legal authority to demand a payment from the county for the programs was questionable. . . "
