The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports:
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said that Gov. Scott Walker’s plans to release revised job figures later this week is an attempt to “cook the books” to make Wisconsin’s economy look better than it is.
During a campaign stop at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Barrett dismissed efforts planned by Walker and his administration to adjust employment figures.
“I don’t doubt for a second that he and his administration are going to cook the books and put themselves in a favorable light because they cannot defend the fact that under his administration, this state has lost more jobs than any state in this entire nation,” Barrett said.
