A former executive with Sentry Insurance and Republican, Bernard Hlavac bought a half-page ad in Sunday’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel outlining why he supports the recall of Governor Scott Walker.

“I can’t think of a better way to spend my money than on this,” he said in a telephone interview from his Stevens Point home. “And I don’t care what people think.”

Hlavac says in the ad that he wrote it for his daughter, a school psychologist in Madison, and “all teachers and staff who have been so maligned and savaged by Walker and the Republican Party whose aim is to destroy unions in Wisconsin and throughout the country.”

Hlavac said he supported the Republican Party for years, but he said the party had became a party that favors the wealthy and “is based on fear.”
