| Description | Madison - A state police union is criticizing another union's attack on Milwaukee mayor and gubernatorial recall candidate Tom Barrett.
The executive director of the Wisconsin Professional Police Association said Friday that an Internet video promoted by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 24 distorted Barrett's record and made it appear as if the mayor supported Gov. Scott Walker's repeal of most collective bargaining for public employees.
Barrett opposed that legislation, which sparked the recall effort against the Republican governor. AFSCME has endorsed Barrett's opponent in the Democratic primary to recall Walker, former Dane County executive Kathleen Falk.
"This recall election represents an historic opportunity for Wisconsinites to reclaim this state in favor of a leader who can create jobs, protect our local services, and restore the right to have a voice at the bargaining table," said Jim Palmer, executive director of the Wisconsin Professional Police Association. "For anyone to sink to the level of distorting the information it sends to its own members is shameful, and it creates the kind of internal discord that Scott Walker will need to keep his office." |
