legislators are also going to remove the governor from the WEDC board, something Walker himself had proposed but will keep two Republican and two Democratic legislators on it. Walker had recommended removing all elected officials from the board

Want some fries with that nothingburger?

Sorry, a lot of the above did not show on my preview.

The content of the article is showing that there is real concern over the agency that Scott Walker created and taxpayer dollars that were paid to political donors by his agency that he Chairs.

So far, none of the money supposedly for job creation has actually resulted in new jobs. No one is being held accountable for that. Hence the investigation that will apparently now become Federal.

We might want to wait and see what the Federal investigation shows. If there was indeed “pay to play” involved, that is a game changer.

If it turns out that is the case, Walker removing himself after the fact will not exonerate him.

That's two articles in 15 minutes from you covering the same information - and there's no link for either of them. I know what smells fishier than the WEDC ...

CMD's niche is investigating the undue influence of corporations, CEOs, and front groups on public policy, including exposing PR campaigns, lobbying, and electioneering.

With the cuts to newsrooms and investigative journalism across the country, CMD's original and in-depth investigations are more important than ever in breaking through the corporate-backed PR that too often fills commercially-sponsored news outlets.

Why would a conservative look here for information?

The source is there and the article was copied in total.

You might also want to check out the article from “Right Wisconsin”. It was posted on a later thread.

The MSM hatchets that so delight you now will be swinging at Ted in due course.

Good find! There is too much smoke in the form of Evidence already. Some will ignore it until indictments are handed down. Expect those to be forthcoming once the Feds get involved.

you still don't get it ...

all I and ConservativeJoy are doing is posting and commenting on a national news article ...

is any of this linked to Scott Walker's PECULIAR reluctance to announce his presidential candidacy ?

is any of this linked to Scott Walker's "defacto" endorsement of both Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio (when Walker announced he was declining-retreating from even running in Florida) ?

time will certainly tell ...

Its 2012 all over again. Divide and attack the conservative front runners leaving Jeb as thee only “electable” candidate. Of course, they do it by presenting the next conservative they will take down as the stalking horse. Cruz is better, abandon Walker, then when Criz is being taken down we will be told somenotherncandidate is better and on and on until only the GOPe selection is left.

If the Scott Walker-WEDC case goes "Federal" ... Scott Walker's 2016 presidential run is "toast" ...

Note, that I'm not saying it's "fair" to Scott Walker ...

But for every "Horrible Hillary Scandal" news story that WASN'T published on ABC-CNN-NBC-NPR-CBS ...

the American public will see TEN stories on "Scott Walker's WEDC Corruption Scandal" ...

Again, it's not fair ... it's presidential politics ...

What is fair is that if indeed there was “pay to play” involved here, as it looks like there was, we need to know this Now. I don’t expect anything but Corruption from Democrats. I don’t want this kind of mess associated with our next President. We don’t have to settle for this!

This is called “Vetting”. I’ve made it no secret that I support Cruz and do not trust Walker. That was before this began to surface. I want my vote to be based on Truth, not blind adoration of any candidate.
