If Walker just isn’t your cup of tea that’s fine but this is pure nonsense.
The Republicans control the Governorship and both Houses of the legislature. By any normal division of spoils they’d have way more than 60% of the ‘goodies’.
They’ve been extraordinarily non-partisan in fact...
” nearly 60 percent of the financial assistance money awarded by the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) has gone to businesses whose owners or employees have donated money to the campaign of Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wisconsin) or the Republican Governors Association (RGA).”
The WEDC is a government assistance program for the taxpayers of the State of Wisconsin not the Republican donors of Scott Walker’s governer’s campaign.
Lets get real here. Pay to play is pay to play. It looks bad, it sounds bad. Its probably bad.
You are right Walker is not my cup of tea. We have enough problems in the GOP right now without nominating a candidate who is suspect in any way, shape or form.
Awarding businesses whose owners made a total of over Two Million dollars in donations to Walker’s campaign with hundreds of millions of tax dollars with no accountability attached looks LOT LIKE “Pay to Play”. We’ll have to wait and see what the prosecutor says now that all the info has been turned over to them.
What we do know is that only 7,000 or so jobs were created for all that tax money. That does not account for the number of jobs outsourced overseas by these companies, which would reduce the net gain of jobs substantially.
Facts are stubborn things and can’t be dismissed as talking points. The Audit was done and submitted by both Democrats and Republicans.
