Gov. Walker to Visit Schofield Wednesday during "Turning Around Wisconsin" Tour

Click Here to View the Media Release

Governor Scott Walker will be in central Wisconsin Wednesday morning for his “Turning Around Wisconsin” tour. The governor spoke at Stanley-Boyd Elementary school last Thursday, but canceled his Schofield appearance due to weather.

The governor's State of the State speech last Wednesday, focused a great deal on education. Gov. Walker outlined an education plan based off of three bipartisan task forces that have been meeting for nearly a year, according to the Governor's office. The governor's office says the education reform package will improve accountability in school systems, improve teacher training, and improve elementary school reading. Walker will talk about that at the school, and he will also read to 3rd grade students as part of his "Read to Lead" initiative. The program is designed to increase reading skills of kids before they hit 4th grade.

Gov. Walker will be at J&D Tube Benders, Inc. in Schofield at 11:40 a.m. NewsChannel 7 will have a crew at the visit and will have full coverage tonight.

This is how dirty the Republican Party has become: Utilizing word-of-mouth and social media, these Walker supporters are encouraging voters across the state to write in the governor as a candidate in the Democratic primary - if the recall election moves forward.

When is Walker going to meet and greet the public? Talk with people not TO people.

Walker's tri[p is another case of "hiding in plain site". He is such a control freak!

He should have named it on behalf of what he is trying to do to average Wisconsin citizens...the "six feet under tour".

I see once more he has stopped by a business. The audience of workers held captive. You know they won't be able to say anything. He only wants a listing group. What a leader. When will he evet talk with people? He only speakes to them. Always a controled audience.

I see Walker is heading on another "turn around tour". This time to Fla. for more donations. Why do we pay him a wage when he is off "jet setting"? He sure is doing his job for Wisconsin. Anyone who believes that can't be playing with a full deck. I hope he has his wages deducted for time not spent on Wisconsin jobs. This would happen in the private sector, oh wait politicans don't play by the same rules.

Why does the news story have a different slant than the press release? Not that either one is accurate, mind you.

This guy doesn't even have a college degree! He's telling educators how to teach! Give me a break! He should sit in on the discussion and follow the second graders and the questions they ask and he MIGHT learn something!
