Revisionist History, better late than never? Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) released a new ad Tuesday touting his support for equal pay for women. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) released an ad on Tuesday in which his female lieutenant governor applauds his support for equal pay for women -- just two years after the governor signed a bill repealing the states equal pay law. Under Scott Walker, workplace discrimination will always be illegal for any reason, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch says in the ad. Mary Burke wants to create more opportunities to sue. We want to create more opportunities for women to succeed. Walkers campaign released the ad soon after recent polls showed him and Burke, his Democratic challenger, in a dead heat, with Burke leading heavily among women. Burke has criticized Walker for quietly signing a measure in 2012 that repealed Wisconsins Equal Pay Enforcement Act. The law gave victims of wage discrimination more avenues through which to plead their cases in court.
