Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI) has a new TV ad, his third thus far in the effort to persuade voters not to sign petitions to recall him from office.

This ad features an elementary school teacher, coming to the defense of Walker’s state budget — which has inflamed public employee unions (especially teachers) with its rollback of collective bargaining — by crediting it with preventing layoffs: “I don’t agree with Governor Walker on everything. But thanks to his budget reforms, hundreds of teachers like me still have a job.”
