7-22-14 wisconsin governor’s race

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mary Burke says an ad in which Gov. Scott Walker criticizes Trek Bicycle Corp. shows he doesn’t understand how the global marketplace works.  Burke, a former Trek executive, continued her criticism Monday of the ad Walker’s campaign launched last week. The ad says she got rich from a company that sent jobs overseas, where women and children are paid as little as $2 an hour.  Burke said in a statement that Walker is dragging a great Wisconsin company through the mud for political reasons. She says if he knew more about global economics he’d understand how a company is supposed to compete worldwide. Walker has stuck by the ad. He says his campaign isn’t criticizing the company, but rather is giving voters “the full record.”
