I have provided the sources and article after article on this to Palmer. He has his opinion and refuses to believe even factual math. Anyone can calculate from a list of Walker donors and the total amounts contributed equals 60% of the money spent by WEDC.
He is pouncing on the fact that Ozanne is the prosecutor assigned to this. His boss is a Walker appointee. There is simply no way to spin this. The time of donations and payouts do not look good, but if you completely remove any corruption from the equation, you still have epic mismanagement and waste of taxpayer dollars for the embarrassing net loss of -7,000 jobs. When Walker starts spouting that he is on the side of the American Worker, think about those thousands of jobs that were outsourced by his donors companies that he paid millions to create jobs, I’ll bet the people who lost their livelihood don’t think he was on their side.
Walker’s fiscal failure overall should be a serious issue since we are going to need a lot of repair to our economy.
And I have read all of them.

Anyone except conservativejoy who has not done so, nor linked to a source that has. The only source of that number is a quote from a liberal group that is an enemy of Walker. Obviously the number is more than zero, but the question is whether the number is high enough to indicate favoritism towards Walker donors.

Ozanne was appointed by Gov. Doyle in 2010 and reelected in 2012. He is as partisan as a DA can get and reports to his constituency.

Epic mismanagement is a liberal talking point. If you consider the fact that many other states have programs like this, it makes sense that Wisconsin would. It deserves to be reviewed and scrutinized and Walker will have to defend its purpose and benefits.
