Tom Barrett has a new ad in the Wisconsin recall election, accusing Gov. Scott Walker of rigging the state’s jobs numbers, and involvement in personal corruption in the ongoing investigation of Walker’s former aides.

“Scott Walker’s playing tricks with job numbers — because he didn’t like the real ones,” the announcer says. “Just like the tricks he’s playing with the John Doe scandal.

“Felonies, guilty pleas and over a thousand emails showing taxpayer dollars used for Walker’s campaign. If Walker received or sent any of these emails, he’s in deep trouble.

“He’s hired criminal attorneys. And Walker refuses to tell us what he said to the prosecutors. Doesn’t Wisconsin deserve the truth — before the election?”
