AP story on job-poor WI overlooks Walker's six-year fail
Somehow the Associated Press manages to craft a very, very long story about rural Wisconsin voters looking for workforce and quality-of-life salvation from Donald Trump without mentioning the incumbent Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's six-year job creating failure and 250,000 new-jobs-after-one-term-pledge declared broken by PolitiFact more than two years ago.
\Walker's Teflon is intact in part because some media give Walker such a huge pass and in this case, fail to find and quote anyone who remembers that Wisconsin in fact has a governor who made job growth his leading priority in three gubernatorial elections while presiding over an economy and a political environment without a spark.
In a state where Republicans - - the self-proclaimed party of business - - run all three branches of government and can't use a $66 billion bi-ennual budget to stimulate the economy. After six years!
