Feels like Mike Sherman McCallum sees the budget as a proving ground. Though he wishes he had more time to scrutinize the document, he enters the budget cycle confidently. I don't intend to fill Tommy Thompson's shoes. I have shoes of my own. You can grumble and complain.
People have to understand that when dollars are expended, there has to be a return.
There are signs that the tone and flavor of McCallum's administration will contrast with that of Thompson's autocratic style. He is far less domineering, less of a CEO and more of a facilitator. But McCallum insists that doesn't mean he's not demanding, or decisive. I don't intend to fill Tommy Thompson's shoes. With McCallum, it kind of flows around him and he interjects when he needs to, and listens.
