The article at this link provides a detailed report of taxpayer money awarded to Walker donors through the agency he created and Chaired, WEDC.
The link to the full report is at the end of the article.
An Audit of WEDC was just completed and has been turned over to prosecutors at the end of May this year. The Prosecutor's office delayed their investigation until receiving the completed Audit Findings.
That sounds an awful lot like political enemies talking points. What we know for a fact is that the agency (not he) paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to a donor, as a loan, which was not paid back. The other loans have not been audited or those audits are not yet public.
Palmer, the official audit shows loans that were made and the amount of outstanding loans and those that have been written off at the taxpayers expense. That was the purpose of the audit which is available in its entirety in a link in the article. You’re beating a dead horse.
Only 60%???
The Dems are laughing at Walker.
The Dems are licking their chops hoping Walker is on the ticket. That’s when the “Justus Dept.” kicks into high gear.
I wouldn’t trust the comPost to provide any correct information.
I’m saddened to see how many gullible Freepers buy into the daily hit pieces written against Walker and accept the lies as truth.
This thread is a great example of why Ronald Reagan cited the 11th Commandment: “Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.”
This is divide and conquer. Don’t be a guppy.
There is $3.5 million in delinquencies on a total balance of $11.3 million. That is out of a total loan portfolio of $20.5 million. Not a stellar performance, but very different from your statement of 100's of millions in loans that have not been paid back. Also most of the loans are secured although the $500k loan in the newspaper (the one that is being investigated) was not secured.
Who do you work for?
All I need to read.....when so-called Conservatives use Lying Marxist Liberal articles to prove their point...Somethings wrong.
Something really stinks here..and it ain't Walker.
Who do you work for?
The audit found that many of the loans had been written off and that is not a part of the “outstanding” figure.
Where are the jobs and why have these companies not been held accountable for creating them?
WKOW is a T.V. Station in Wisconsin. Greg Neumann, the author of the article, is their political reporter. His bio:

Greg Neumann joined WKOW in July 2011 as a political reporter.
Greg is WKOW’s Capitol Bureau Chief and covers state politics on his Sunday morning show, Capitol City Sunday on WKOW at 9 a.m. as well as on 27 News at 5 & 6 on weekdays.
“I have long had a passion for covering politics and I am very happy to have the chance to do so in my home state of Wisconsin for WKOW,” Greg said. “I feel there’s never been a more important time to cover the Wisconsin legislature and I hope to present very fair and thorough stories to our viewers so they can form their own opinions on the volatile issues of the day.”
An Oconomowoc-native, Greg graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a degree in Broadcast Journalism.
He got his start in broadcast as a Sports Talk Show Host/Reporter at WAUK-AM Radio in Waukesha. His first television job was as the Weekend Sports Anchor/Reporter at KDUH-TV in Scottsbluff, Nebraska.
After Nebraska, Greg returned to Wisconsin, working at our sister station in Eau Claire, WQOW-TV as the weekend sports anchor. He also made stops at WDJT-TV and WVTV-TV in Milwaukee.
Prior to coming to WKOW, Greg reported and anchored at WEAR-TV in Pensacola, Florida.
“When I’m not working, I love to attend concerts, which is one thing I plan to do a lot of in Madison,” Greg said. “I am also a movie buff who likes to write reviews on Facebook in my spare time. I also like to play tennis and follow Wisconsin Badger football!”
The Politico and Politifact have reported the same statistic, but given the Truth that says “There are none so blind as those who Will Not See.”, it wouldn’t matter to some folks if the info came from Galatians, Chapter 2.
It doesn’t fit what you want to believe so you continue to act as if Walker were Governor of the State of Denial.
I’ve posted this many times. I support Ted Cruz as is clearly pointed out in my tagline. I am also a Cruz Volunteer, but since his campaign has not yet licked off here, I am not actively involved yet. My opinions are my own.
You sign up years ago...but don't post.
It's a classic case of a mole. I figure Liberal mole........
Trying to cause dissent within the Pubbies...
Plenty of dirty tricks were pulled in WI...on Walker. Did you have ANYTHING to say about those tactics??????????????
NOPE!!!
Maybe the Cruz campaign will out you....but it will happen.
One Wisconsin Now.
Maybe WKOW is not corrupt and in the tank for Marxist Liberals...I dunno. But that is not the entity that I referred to.
Do you even read your own posts...or just keep pumping, and on to the next...misinformation, mischaracterization, mistake, lack of FULL information.
Hey sister...you seem EXACTLY like many in the Socialist Liberal Marxist Lying Media.
What are you going to do next...tell us ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Washington Post, N.Y. Times, L.A. Times etc..etc... are all liable news sources?
Deal with it.
My concern right now is not what dirty tricks were played in Wisconsin, but rather what Walker’s record says about him. The constant refrain of “I took on the Unions”, is beginning to sound like Kerry’s “I served in Vietnam”.
It is especially not persuasive when you consider that Walker only targeted unions that had not supported him. The Public Safety Unions who did got a pass.
No, I didn’t post here since the last election when I supported Newt. I was so disgusted and sickened by that election that I rarely watched the news for two years.
Now I have a candidate that I can support wholeheartedly.
If you think Ted Cruz is going to stifle anyone’s voice in this campaign, you don’t know how staunchly he supports the First Amendment and the entire Constitution. Unlike other candidate that have likely never read it, Cruz can’t quote the entire Constitution by heart.
Excuse the typo. “Cruz can quote the entire Constitution by heart.” is what I meant to say.
And from here on out...you will wear that badge.
And when you say something dumb like that last paragraph here...I will let you know.
If you think Ted Cruz is going to stifle anyone’s voice in this campaign, you don’t know how staunchly he supports the First Amendment and the entire Constitution. Unlike other candidate that have likely never read it, Cruz can’t quote the entire Constitution by heart.
And when you DON'T tell me you were wrong...but just move on to the next BASH Walker thread...I will tell you, you are wrong.
So, where do you work right now?
BTW, I would vote for T.C. in a heartbeat...but people like you I DON'T trust. You're a mole. Period.
Cruz is my guy, too. But taking on the WI teachers’ union was no cake walk.
If you followed the story (and who could not? It was national news for several weeks as the WI state house was unlawfully occupied by hordes of miscreants and malcontents), it was brutal. Countless $millions poured in from unions across the country; thousands of unionistas were bussed in from surrounding states to protest....The Left even organized a recount, albeit an unsuccessful one.
Took a lot courage and tenacity to pull that one off, *and* survive a recount, *and* get reelected to a second term, IMO.
