Putting aside the fact that his claim that he’ll create 250,000 new jobs in Wisconsin before the end of his first term is pure fantasy, Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker also seems to have a problem with the math associated with his claim. Walker’s plan for job creation centers on lowering taxes, while [...]

Steve Walters, the former Capitol bureau chief of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, has a question for Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker, based on a February 23 speech Walker gave before members of Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce. In his remarks, Walker noted he wanted to lower the “tax on employers,” but as Walters notes, that [...] Posted by Zach W on March 8, 2010, at 5:27 am
Later today, Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker will be hosting a posh campaign fundraiser (at $2,000 a table) along with former Floriday governor Jeb Bush, an event that will be closed to the press. As a press release issued by the Democratic Party of Wisconsin notes, Walker shouldn’t shy away from from having the [...] Posted by Zach W on March 1, 2010, at 6:03 am
…and quit while he’s ahead, instead of mounting a challenge to Sen. Russ Feingold: When I mention recent rumors of a very partisan political race—Tommy Thompson vs. Russ Feingold in the upcoming U.S. Senate election—Sue Ann is candid. “I try to stay out of it. Does it bother me when people ask questions? No. I can’t tell [...] Posted by Zach W on February 27, 2010, at 10:18 pm
Scott Walker the gubernatorial candidate says, “I’m going to create 250,000 new jobs in Wisconsin,‘ while Scott Walker the Milwaukee County Executive says, “See ya…wouldn’t wanna be ya!” to the 76 Milwaukee County employees he handed pink slips to on Friday. I guess this means Scott Walker will now have to create 250,076 jobs. Posted by Zach W on February 25, 2010, at 6:06 am
I can’t help but wonder when the folks in Scott Walker’s gubernatorial campaign are going to come to the realization that they’re not running against Gov. Jim Doyle in 2010. Sure, I get it…they want to tie Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett to Gov. Doyle, but at what point does Scott Walker start being the [...] Posted by Zach W on February 25, 2010, at 5:31 am
In a recent press release, Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker announced his plan to create 250,000 jobs and 10,000 new businesses in Wisconsin by 2015. That sounds positively wonderful, except for the fact that it’s simply not realistic. In making his claim that he’ll create 250,000 jobs, Walker is claiming he’ll be able [...] Posted by Zach W on February 20, 2010, at 6:16 am
On Thursday I wrote about Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker’s fancy $250 a head fundraiser at the Pfister Hotel, a fundraiser headlined by former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, but it’s also worth noting Walker spent some time this week fundraising for his Wisconsin gubernatorial campaign in Florida. Walker ventured to Florida on Wednesday [...] Posted by Zach W on February 19, 2010, at 6:37 am
There’s a question being asked of Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Walker that he seems imply unable (more likely unwilling) to answer. The question is simple: “How would you have plugged budget deficits without Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding?” It’s a fair question, considering Walker used $130 million in stimulus funds to plug a hole in Milwaukee [...] |
