Gov. Scott Walker said he plans to keep a campaign promise of bringing 250,000 jobs to Wisconsin by 2015 if an attempt to recall him from office fails. Walker, who spoke Wednesday morning with employees of J & D Tube Benders in Weston, a village about 12 miles southeast of Wausau, said the state's unemployment rate has improved from 7.4 percent in January 2011 to 7.1 percent in December. If a recall election is held and he remains governor, Walker said voters should hold him accountable for the pledge of 250,000 new private-sector jobs by the end of his four-year term. "I think you need a bold, ambitious, aggressive goal," Walker said. "I don't think it's good to have a goal and then try to drop it down." Wisconsin gained about 13,500 private-sector jobs last year — far behind the pace needed to reach 250,000 in four years.
