Republican Gov. Scott Walker has a new ad in the Wisconsin recall, attacking Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett for favoring “reckless spending” on a streetcar project in his city.
“Tom Barrett wants to spend more than $100 million on a trolley for Milwaukee,” Walker says. “Now that’s the kind of reckless spending that left Wisconsin with more than a $3 billion deficit.
“We eliminated that deficit by making government more efficient. We cut waste and fraud, and our reforms have saved taxpayers more than a billion dollars. And by reducing taxes, we helped employers create more than 30,000 jobs. That’s how we move Wisconsin forward.”
