… and some of those ads are being financed by those billionaire Koch brothers. This begs the question, who is Governor Walker really looking out for? The state of Wisconsin, or big business?
Greg Sargent has a take on the ads.
Here's something else that will ratchet up the stakes in the Wisconsin standoff and fuel suspicions about the real goal behind the push to roll back public employee rights: The well-funded conservative group Americans for Prosperity is set to start running ads in Wisconsin, I'm told.
"We're planning to run TV and radio ads in Wisconsin starting tomorrow, as well as host a few events across the state later this week," Americans for Prosperity spokesperson Mary Ellen Burke emails. "Things are happening quickly as the news story in Wisconsin progresses."(…)
Americans for Prosperity, of course, was partly created and bankrolled by the secretive billionaire Koch brothers, who are also major financial backers of Governor Scott Walker.
This looks more like Governor Walker is less concerned about balancing the Wisconsin state budget, and more concerned with making it even harder for employees to earn decent wages and benefits in not only his state, but in others which will follow along if Koch Walker gets his way. Only those states with Republican governors will try this shit.
