Kyle Maichle plays fast and loose with the facts

Over at his Mike Tate hate blog, Kyle “North Shore Exponent” Maichle has a new hit piece attacking Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett via a YouTube video. In his YouTube video, Maichle asserts Barrett is no friend to public safety, and to bolster his case, Maichle notes Tom Barrett furloughed Milwaukee Police officers while Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker didn’t furlough Milwaukee County Sheriff’s deputies, as you can see for yourself:

There’s only one problem with Kyle Maichle’s assertion: it’s a blatant lie:

Milwaukee County sheriff’s deputies are subject to eight “floater” furlough days for 2010, along with all other county workers, according to a legal opinion issued Wednesday.

The interpretation runs counter to what County Executive Scott Walker said was his intent when he vetoed a budget provision to expand employee furloughs. The opinion, by county Corporation Counsel William Domina, also was disputed by officials from the sheriff’s office and the deputies union.

I understand Kyle Maichle’s a devoted Scott Walker supporter, but is it too much to ask that he at least try to tell the truth as he’s attacking Tom Barrett?

    1. Kyle, if it was Lee Holloway who did it, why didn’t Scott Walker use his veto pen to remove it?

      Oh wait, he did, and he still screwed it up, just like he screwed up courthouse maintenance, the Behavior Health Division, and so much more.
