Echoing ALEC's Playbook, the Real Story of Walker's Tort "Reform"
"In Walker’s first year, Wisconsin frequently ranked last or near the bottom in job creation out of all 50 states in monthly jobs figures.
But the fact that changing the rights of citizens injured by corporations has not been shown to create jobs anywhere in the U.S. did not stop Walker and his allies from making such claims. Nor did it deter ALEC from putting out such spin in order to advance the desires of its corporate members to limit their legal liability even when they harm people -- here in Wisconsin and in other states across the country -- through one-size-fits-all legislation from the ALEC corporate bill mill."
