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.
It’s pretty simple to see where they got the figure if you look at the donor list and the amounts given to them by WEDC.
It’s interesting that no one wants to deal with the -7000 jobs lost that cost 975 million.
At least that is a valid critique that Walker will need to answer. The answer is pretty straightforward in the report I told you to read: http://inwisconsin.com/inside-wedc/impact/ (click to download report). "In FY14, WEDC invested in contracted projects that will result in over $1.6 billion in capital investments in Wisconsin." (note that is in the future) OTOH, the report points to just 306 jobs created (in the past). So Walker will need to defend his program, not against talking points, but against those facts.

That and the jobs that were outsourced. As for the donor list, it was in the articles already posted.
