Just received some campaign material from our esteemed governor I wanted to share. It was addressed to a previous occupant of our house. This was a 8.5x11 postcard. Very expensive to mail nowadays. But since Walker eliminated taxes on bulk mail, it's not a problem. Recently there was graphic in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel showing Walker's big on the mailers. I think it said he spent like 54% of his war chest on direct mail. Mostly campaign contribution requests throughout the country I'm sure.
Walker really bashes Milwaukee in this one. Maybe he's counting on people to think he's from Waukesha?
Side note: Isn't it interesting he has his campaign office in a "double secret location" so he doesn't get caught campaigning on county [state] time again?
Let's get to the mail. I am guessing this will be a regular series.
Front - Please notice where the Higher Taxes sign is (not) affixed.
Back - Please note that "Job Creation is Up!" (Doesn't say where though.) Probably should say "... in Illinois."
Also my property taxes went up so again maybe he is referring to somewhere else.
Back zoomed in - The top lines are true but I don't know if Barrett's "high" taxes and spending had anything to do with it. Scott Walker drove Milwaukee into the ground from 2002-10 as Milwaukee County Executive.
It says above that "While in office, Barrett voted for $1 billion in tax increase and new taxes for Wisconsin." However these votes were in 1984 and 1991 so they would have a cumulative effect. I have no idea what they are about.
