Liberal Group: Walker Flights Cost Taxpayers $818K

The liberal advocacy group One Wisconsin Now says Republican Governor Scott Walker has made flights on the state airplane costing taxpayers 818-thousand dollars in the last three years.  It says 11 of the 869 flights were less than 64 miles.  One Wisconsin Now compiled the information from public records on flight data.  The group is criticizing the state leader running for re-election for the expense.  Walker press secretary Amy Hasenberg says the attack is a “gross mischaracterization” of the governor’s dedication to visiting his constituents.
