Scott Walker, By The Numbers
With the Walker recall effort under way, and 540,208 signatures needed to force an election, I thought I'd put together some other key figures for recall advocates, too:
66% - - (Updated as of 11/27; Make that 68%) - - Number of PolitiFact statements vetted with the words "Mostly False," "False" or "Pants on Fire."in the rating.
2 - - Number of times PolitiFact found Walker falsely said the state was "broke."
$600 Million - - Value of wind farm projects now blocked in Wisconsin through Walker-imposed restrictions.
$800 million - - Approximate amount of Amtrak funding Walker returned to the federal government to fund rail projects in Wisconsin, including a Hiawatha rail line extension from Milwaukee to Madison to be built between 2010 and 2015.
4.732 - - Number of Hiawatha line construction jobs projected just for 2012.
9,700 - - Number of jobs Wisconsin lost in October.
49 - - Number of states that lost fewer jobs in October.
109 - - Number of additional days Wisconsin long-term unemployed residents were made to wait by state officials to receive federally-funded unemployment compensation extension.
$50 - - Price of admission to Walker-organized job summit, with other state officials.
$41.3 million - - Amount of tax increases on working poor in Walker's "no-tax-increase" 2011-2013 budget.
1 - - Number of bills passed separately by the Legislature or signed during or in the wake of Walker's just-concluded special session on jobs that covered the following issues: creating immunity for shooting intruders, teaching abstinence in sex-ed classes, using pupil test scores to discipline teachers, extending package liquor sales hours to 6 a.m. and carrying concealed weapons into the State Capitol.
