The Wisconsin Democratic Party is taking an highly unconventional approach in attacking GOP gubernatorial hopeful Scott Walker by posting graphic images of an unclean courthouse bathroom.
The repulsive state of the bathrooms in the Milwaukee County Courthouse — whose janitorial services Walker privatized recently as part of his role as county executive — first became a campaign issue last Friday when a local television station ran a story demonstrating in detail the bathrooms’ conditions.
As part of Walker’s decision to outsource some government services, 25 members of the courthouse’s janitorial staff were laid off. In protest, only four of the 20 scheduled to work show up on December 11 — their last day of work and the day news cameras recorded video of the restrooms.
Still images taken from the report of clogged toilets, overflowing trash cans and used paper towels are posted on the state Democratic Party’s website and linked to high up on the Wisconsin Democrats homepage (Warning: Graphic images). - Politico Story
