Barrett: Which School Districts Have Been Hurt By Scott Walker's Reforms...? Hmm. Hm. Hey, You Know What, I'll Run An Analysis And Get Back To You About That

I'm not making that up. He cannot name any school districts harmed by the Act 10 reforms, and appears to agree with the proposition that it's helped many (in as much as he does not dispute this part of the question).

He then says he'll "run an analysis" to find some schools he think were hurt, and get back to the reporter at some point before the election (which is six days off).

This is the central issue in this election -- Tom Barrett's failure to identify any schools harmed by Act 10 is therefore a concession that none have.

Because if some had been hurt, you can be damn sure he'd have the school's names at the ready. Instead, he ducks the question (shifting to corrections workers' concern) and then expresses bafflement.

Or, he might just be a moron. Which is not out of the question. Politicians are generally not particularly smart.
