“This proves Scott Walker is the hardest-working governor in America,” Walker spokeswoman Amy Hasenberg said of the comparison to Cuomo. “He has made it a priority to get out of Madison and listen to the people, and he’s delivered positive results for Wisconsin.”

But One Wisconsin Now executive director Scot Ross is crying foul, saying taxpayers are subsidizing Walker’s political activities. He pointed to Walker traveling six days in a row on official business to the Green Bay and Appleton area leading up to the June 12 special election in the 1st Senate District, which a Democrat won for the first time in decades.

The six days included a flight into Green Bay from Platteville on the evening of June 7, an early morning interview with WLUK-TV on June 8, participation in an Appleton Flag Day parade on June 9, visits to Breakfast on the Farm events in Manitowoc and Outagamie counties on June 10, a broadband grant announcement in Oconto Falls on June 11 and remarks at a Green Bay packaging company on the morning of June 12. He also had stops in other parts of the state and on four of the five nights of the trip he returned to the executive residence in Madison.
