Real job growth in WI has been slow at best. And Walker is putting lots of time and effort into tourism, which provided low paying seasonal jobs (except for upper management and CEO's ) and seldom provides health insurance benefits.

Gov. Scott Walker -- screen grab
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) snapped at a Democratic county executive on Friday for asking him how he will handle citizens of Wisconsin losing their health care under the GOP-controlled House vote to repeal and replace Obamacare.
..........................
The plan is Im going to wait for what the Senate and the president do, and well see from there, Walker replied before grandstanding for the cameras in mock outrage. So just to be clear folks, just to be clear, the county executive wants to take away from tourism right now and play a political stunt about a topic that has nothing to do with what were talking about today.
Walker accused Nelson of playing politics, telling him he had a chance to run for Congress and adding, You want to run for governor, run for governor,
Look, this obviously has gotten under your skin, Nelson shot back
Whats gotten under my skin, ladies and gentlemen, Walker said as he again addressed the cameras, is the fact that someone decided to pull a political stunt and show up at an event about tourism......

Walker operating outside his bubble and without his script. The world's scary for him when he's away from his ultra-safe photo-ops. He's not a nice person.

Now, if we could just come up with a credible candidate to oppose him.
