… Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett made his sharpest criticism yet of a pledge by his opponent, former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk, to veto any state budget that doesn't restore the union bargaining that was largely repealed for public workers by the Republican governor. Barrett pointed out that under Wisconsin's system vetoing a new budget bill would leave the budget signed by Walker and its cuts to education and local governments in place indefinitely. … Falk has won endorsements from major public-sector unions, including the Wisconsin Education Association Council and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, and the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO. Falk has also been endorsed by several lawmakers and by environmental and women's groups.
