Scott Walker Runs Ad Supporting Equal Pay After Repealing Wisconsin's Equal Pay Law

Source: HUFF POST

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) released an ad on Tuesday in which his female lieutenant governor applauds his support for equal pay for women -- just two years after the governor signed a bill repealing the state's equal pay law.

"Under Scott Walker, workplace discrimination will always be illegal for any reason," Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch says in the ad. "Mary Burke wants to create more opportunities to sue. We want to create more opportunities for women to succeed."

Walker's campaign released the ad soon after recent polls showed him and Burke, his Democratic challenger, in a dead heat, with Burke leading heavily among women.

Burke has criticized Walker for quietly signing a measure in 2012 that repealed Wisconsin's Equal Pay Enforcement Act. The law gave victims of wage discrimination more avenues through which to plead their cases in court.

Heh! Walker you are GOING to LOSE and you can and may still go AND join your cronies in jail, and your Lt. Governor is a disgrace to say what she said to create more opportunities to sue, if that was the case zippy, if you did not repeal your equal pay law and had enforced the law you would not have any lawsuits, and these two are running the state of Wisconsin, scary

Please, please, Badgers, take out this Koch lackey. Just read in another post that the casino magnate Adelson is pumping a fortune into ads in Wisconsin to save the Koch machine there. Stand up and don't let them win.

No, they don't. That's why they offer platitudes instead of plans.
