That GOP gubernatorial rival
Mark Neumann saw right through it, 38 months ago:
Walker made the jobs claim Tuesday at a gathering of Wisconsin
businessmen. He said he would create the jobs through six steps,
which include lowering or freezing a range of taxes and limiting
state regulations.
He declined to offer specifics, saying those details would emerge
during the campaign.
Walker's primary opponent, former U.S. Rep. Mark Neumann, also
released a statement Wednesday ridiculing Walker's claim. Neumann
quoted statistics that suggest Milwaukee has one of the nation's
worst records of retaining jobs.
"If Scott Walker had a plan to bring jobs to Wisconsin he should
have implemented it in Milwaukee sometime during the last eight
years," Neumann said.
A Federal appeals court has ruled that the mountaintop mining practice of dumping rocks and dirt into streams is a violation of the Clean Water Act. The Guv can kiss his Gogebic open-pit mine and it's fictitious jobs goodbye.
