MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Democratic U.S. Rep. Gwen Moore says that Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s policies are “tightening the noose, literally, around African Americans.” Moore is black and represents Milwaukee in Congress. She says Walker’s opposition to raising the minimum wage, requiring voters to show photo identification at the polls, and requiring drug testing for public aid recipients disproportionately hurts African Americans. Walker’s campaign spokeswoman AshLee Strong had no comment.
