Walker releases TV ads going after Barrett, Falk
Gov. Scott Walker has new TV ads going after Tom Barrett and Kathleen Falk.
The Falk spot opens with a narrator saying Falk wants to “take Wisconsin back. But back to what?”
The narrator says she raised property taxes every year, pushing them up 80 percent, while spending went up more than 70 percent and the unemployment rate tripled.
“Going back to Kathleen Falk’s way of doing things? That’s no way to move Wisconsin forward,” the narrator says.
In the Barrett ad, the narrator says the mayor has led Milwaukee backward for eight years: the city has one of the worst job creation records of any big city in the U.S., “Barrett’s city” has one of the worst graduation rates in the country, and the mayor raised taxes in seven of the last eight years.
“We can’t afford to let Tom Barrett take us back,” the spot closes.
