Barrett focuses on probe of Walker aides in final recall debate


Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett stayed on the offensive Thursday in his second and final debate with Gov. Scott Walker, focusing on an ongoing secret investigation of Walker aides and divisions within the state since Walker was sworn in 17 months ago.

The GOP governor spent much of his time touting his record, but also delivered jabs at his Democratic rival.

The sharpest exchange came when Barrett focused on the John Doe probe of Walker aides and the governor called on Barrett to release police reports after a Journal Sentinel investigation found hundreds of serious crimes misclassified as lesser offenses.

"I have a police department that arrests felons," Barrett said. "He has a practice of hiring them."

Give Barrett and his team a rec. for a very vivid sound byte.
