WISCONSIN -- Like an eager person hoping for a shiny new bike on Christmas morning., Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has sent President-Elect Donald Trump his Holiday wish list.

On Tuesday, five days before Christmas, Walker sent a letter to Trump outlining actions he believes the incoming administration should take immediately upon taking office to restore state control over the governance of a number of programs and services.

The letter also details Governor Walker's concerns regarding apparent federal overreach in several arenas.



"Too often, states have become mere administrative provinces of an all-powerful federal government in Washington," Governor Walker said in a prepared statement. "Now is the time to reverse that trend. These requests are the first of many my administration will make as Wisconsin leads the effort to restore balance between state and federal government."

The letter asks President-elect Trump to provide flexibility in implementing a number of programs.
