Great Scott! Walker's The Biggest Spender
Looks like Scott Walker will have a hard time running as anything but The Biggest Spender.

Stop the press! The comparison's flawed. The time periods are not the same. The Barrett data looks at % change over 6 yrs, while the Walker data looks at % change over 8 yrs.
Walker's percentage increase is only 26% if you use the same six time periods used in the Barrett data.
Bad mistake.
Still, with a 26% increase, Walker shouldn't be claiming to be such a tightwad.
The "D'oh" heard 'round the State of Wisconsin.
One Wisconsin Now will be tweaking these numbers, along the line suggested by sharp-eyed jpk.
Here is the group's website, where a correction will be posted:
