New RGA attacks Barrett on jobs, taxes

The Republican Governors Association unveiled an ad today that says things are "looking up" in Milwaukee under Tom Barrett with taxes, spending and unemployment all on the rise.

The narrator adds, "Jobs losses under Tom Barrett are so devastating that Milwaukee became one of America’s 10 worst cities for unemployment."

The final shot of the ad shows Barrett speaking at a podium with former Gov. Jim Doyle just behind him. The ad does not mention Doyle by name or show his name in type anywhere in the spot.

"Now Barrett wants to be governor of Wisconsin?" the narrator asks. "No thanks, Mr. Barrett. You’ve done enough damage in Milwaukee."
