MADISON (AP) -- A group funded by labor unions has announced it is buying $1 million worth of advertising across the state time in support of Democratic recall candidate Kathleen Falk.
Wisconsin for Falk announced the ad buy on Thursday, April 26th. The group is funded by the Wisconsin Education Association Council, the statewide teacher union, and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
