.......Our rating

In a new TV ad, Walker says "the truth" is that "in the last year, Wisconsin ranked third in midwest job growth."

That’s old news. The updated ranking is fourth, closer to middle of the pack, something the governor knew before his ad aired.

We rate the claim False.

I once played golf with Walker and he got a hole-in-one. He wrote a zero on his scorecard. Scuba Oct 2014 #1
