CLOSE THE BOOK ON WALKER New Ad: Scott Walker's Extreme, Divisive Agenda Has Torn Wisconsin Apart

MILWAUKEE -- A new television ad released today by Barrett for Wisconsin shows how the unprecedented political turmoil caused by Scott Walker's ideological civil war that has assaulted equal pay, gutted education, raised taxes on seniors, and cost Wisconsin jobs.

"Scott Walker and his out-of-state special interest friends wrote the book on how to rip Wisconsin apart," Barrett for Wisconsin Communications Director Phil Walzak said. "It's time to turn the page on Scott Walker's failed agenda by electing Tom Barrett, so we fix Wisconsin and move our state forward."

The ad is running in multiple markets across the state. The script appears below, and the ad can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srvBxOltV0Q

Narrator:

How to rip apart Wisconsin.

By Scott Walker.

Say no to equal pay for equal work for women.

Cut education by the most in state history and increase the cost of college.

Raise taxes on seniors.

Watch Wisconsin lose more jobs than any other state.

All while giving billions in tax breaks to corporations and the super rich.

It's time to close the book.

Because we can’t fix Wisconsin, if we keep Scott Walker.
