Walker's cuts to SeniorCare could leave some struggling

MADISON - Wisconsin's older residents say Gov. Scott Walker's proposal to cut funding for the state's popular SeniorCare program could leave them struggling to make ends meet.

Walker resurrected the plan after the Legislature rejected the idea in 2011 with bipartisan opposition.
