From the beginning of my piece today:
Rebecca Kleefisch has big plans for Wisconsin. She’d like to bring more jobs to the Badger State and drive down the unemployment rate, especially among Iraq and Afghanistan veterans. She wants to help those currently unemployed with job training, so they will be eligible for the tens of thousands of jobs that Wisconsin employers can’t find qualified applicants to fill. And, in view of the graying demographics of Wisconsin residents, Kleefisch has started studying how to make the state attractive to younger workers.
But Rebecca Kleefisch has one big hurdle before she can implement any of her ideas: surviving the recall election.
Scott Walker’s received much well-deserved attention and credit for his public employee union reforms in Wisconsin. But Kleefisch, a tea-party politician, may well also have a bright political future — if she can get through this recall.
