Notable Wisconsin/Walker Firsts And Lasts

While we lead the nation in the number of governors' legal defense funds financed by fat cat donors, we're dead last in percentage change in job growth among all 50 states, with an actual decline of 15,900 jobs since January, 2011 - - better known as the Scott Walker era - -  the Capital Times reports:

The job statistics have taken on political significance in Wisconsin following Gov. Scott Walker's well-publicized vow to add 250,000 jobs to the state total during his four years in office.

To track that progress, The Capital Times has created a new database that will be updated on a monthly basis as new figures are released.

We also lead the nation in recall efforts organized and financed by out of state union operatives.

That 250,000 figure was just the sort of p.r. b.s. that Scott Walker specializes in. Nothing more, nothing less.

That, of course, is a complete lie.
