Now what are you going to do, Dems?
By the way, when this same outfit below said Wisconsin's economy wasn't keeping up with the rest of the nation, it was page one on the Urinal Sentinel. Today's paper, not so much....Media bias at it's worst!
Keep up the great work Governor Walker, you are on your way to a huge victory in June!!!

WISCONSIN GOP NEWS
Wisconsin Economy Improving
Author: Nicole.Tieman
[MADISON, WI]- Republican Party of Wisconsin Communications Director Ben Sparks released the following statement regarding the positive economic report for Wisconsin released today by the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank:
"Today's report showing that Wisconsin's economy is expected to grow 1.95% over the next 6 months, is good news for all Wisconsin families who have struggled these past few years under the failed liberal policies of the previous administration. Under Governor Walker's leadership, the foundation has been laid for economic growth with common-sense budget reforms that have resulted in lowering the state unemployment rate, balancing a $3.6 billion budget deficit, and creating thousands of private sector jobs throughout Wisconsin.
“Today's study highlights that Wisconsin is turning around from the era of job loss and deficit spending of the past, and our economy only continues to improve under Governor Walker's leadership."
