One Wisconsin Now: Scott Walker makes taxpayers finance his campaign operation, again
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker was taxpayer reso to stage a major annoent this morning at a bss run by a major GOP donor, in the midst of today s special election in the Green Bay media market.
One Wisconsin Now exec director Scot Ross, in a news release, said the taxpayer-f photo-op was designed to infl today s senate special election and is a clear violation of laws against the use of tax dollars to st political campaigns.
Scott Walker is terrified Repans are going to lose another election in Wisconsin and he s playing every sleazy trump card he has, Ross said. Scott Walker had to be dragged to court to have this election and now he s doing taxpayer-f photo-ops on the day of the election because he is a desperate career politician who sees the blue wave coming this November.

Ross said it s not just that Repan fealty to Donald Trump has energized progressives to go to the polls in major electoral victories this year, it s also that Walker and the Repans have ignored the economic needs of the state s largest voting bloc: Generation X and millennial voters.
There's more from One Wisconsin New: "Stagnant wages, skyrocketing st loan debt and rising costs for essentials for multi-income families, like child care, are leaving Wisconsin families feeling the financial pinch. They re strng to save for their retirement, and an extended personal or family illness could mean economic disaster."
One Wisconsin Now and progressive leaders in the state are committed to the "Tomorrow Wisconsin" agenda, which focuses on these issues:
St Loan Debt Refinancing
Paid Family and Medical Leave and Sick Days
Affordable Child Care
Job Sec and Livable Wages
Access to State Pension System
Walker and the GOP-controlled Legislature has stymied action on issues like helping st loan borrowers and restoring state equal pay protections while they pander to the wealthy and corporations, according to One Wisconsin Now.
Wisconsin families are poorer for the GOP s obstrn, and Wisconsin is falling behind other states.
Ross said in the press statement, There is nothing sadder than a career politician who sees the end is near. Ever since his disastrous 71-day presidential flame out, Scott Walker spent every moment flying around Wisconsin doing campaign stops and handing out taxpayer funds to his political allies and donors. Today s photo-op is yet another desperate move by a desperate politician.
