(5,279 posts)It was a showpiece of Scat Wanker's first term. It replaced the old Commerce department. Scatty set himself as chairperson and hand picked the board of directors.
They lost 125 million in tax breaks and unsecured loans to documented donors to the Wisconsin club for growth.
Scatty's PAC of choice for the last 6 years.

(51,907 posts)On Friday afternoon, the Walker gang did a news dump, revealing that the corrupt Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, which Walker created and has chaired, was responsible for handing out more than $124 million to Wisconsin businesses without any formal staff review. Please see the diary by Jake formerly of the UP on this. Since hearing about this, I have had the feeling that this outrageous episode of incompetence and cronyism might just be the thing that finally exposes Scott Walker as the criminal he is.
But I have seen little follow-up to the Friday story in any major news outlet. But the Chicago Tribune did cover it in this story: "Scott Walker's Wisconsin jobs agency gave out $124 million without review"
