RGA releases new TV spots going after Barrett, Falk
The Republican Governors Association released two new TV ads this morning going after Tom Barrett and Kathleen Falk.
The spots follow a similar format in which a computer screen is show and a woman does an Internet search for information on Barrett in the one spot and Falk in the other.
Both "searches" turn up information about Barrett and Falk raising taxes while unemployment went up under their watch.
The Falk spot says she's a long-time Madison politician backed by government employee unions, and the woman calls her a "typical liberal Madison politician, raised taxes and lost jobs."
"Kathleen Falk for governor? I don't think so."
The Barrett spot says his taxes and spending drove up unemployment and Milwaukee is
one of America's 10 worst cities for jobs.
"Spending up, taxes up, unemployment up. Gov. Tom Barrett? I don't think so," the woman says.
The RGA release does not say where the ads are running.
