(and Walker is now against recalls, and wants to change the laws - imagine that!)

Or how Barrett called out Walker for lying on camera about what he was referring to with "divide and conquer" in Walker's videotape, within the first five minutes of the debate?

Or how Barrett pointed out that even Walker's "made up jobs numbers" actually were not "verified" by the BLS today, and even the "made up jobs numbers" show a loss, even though Walker keeps pretending they show more jobs.

Or how Barrett pointed out, "My city arrests felons, you hire them"?

Or how Walker sat silent while Barrett pounded him?

Yeah, Walker "crushed"

you hear only what you want to hear. Voters heard loud and clear

Barrett- no plan for job creation and he didn't dispute that the job numbers released were accurate ( oh wait he wants to put a $100 million trolley on the east side of milwaukee that they won't bring to a vote because they know the voters don't want it). He actually tried to bring a republican idea of providing tax incentives to companies that will bring jobs to WI, but didn't really explain how he would do this he then went back to what he wouldn't have done.

Walker- has a plan for job creation and it is working

Barrett seemed a little agitated and at one point referenced "people of Color" in the city of Milwaukee.

Barrett claims to be for the middle class but his fees and taxes that are higher than any other county in the state say otherwise. Ever heard of a wheel tax? It exists in Milwaukee. Doesn't exist any where else in our state. Is that taxing the rich or the poor?

During last night's gubernatorial debate between Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and Gov. Scott Walker, Barrett made the point that in his years in public service, he never had an aide arrested.

But in May 2010, Joseph N. Cantu, who had been Barrett's office receptionist, pleaded guilty to two counts of battery and one count of disorderly conduct in connection with an incident involving an ex-girlfriend, according to online court records.

Cantu had been placed on unpaid leave after the charge became public. He was sentenced to 90 days in the House of Correction under the Huber law.

In another case dating back to June 2008, Barrett appointed Boris Gokhman, a well known developer, to a business improvement district board. In 2004, Gokhman was convicted of health-care fraud
