Wisconsin Not as Bad as Burke Wants you to think

Over the last week or two Wisconsin has gotten a lot of really good news.  However you would never know it if you listen to the Burke Campaign and her allies.

Star Tribune:

MADISON, Wis. — The last jobs report before the Nov. 4 election contains a double-dose of good news for Gov. Scott Walker.

The state Department of Workforce Development reported Thursday that Wisconsin's unemployment rate dropped to 5.5 percent in September and 8,400 private-sector jobs were added.

The unemployment rate is the lowest since the recession in October 2008. It remains below the national rate of 5.9 percent.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - The Wisconsin state budget ended the last fiscal year with a $517 million surplus.

The Burke Campaign and her allies keep pointing at the projected Budget Shortfalls.  However they don't tell you that those projections are only if the Governor and Legislators don't adjust budgets and/or revenues don't increase.

Walker has shown a track record of making the necessary changes to keep the budget in line and out of deficits.

Love him or hate him, he has stopped the bleeding of money here.
