Scott Walker to DA: Don't Read Audits of Failed Jobs Agency
As the national press notes Scott Walker shying away from the press again (Cogan, New York Magazine), back home in Wisconsin Scott Walker's flag ship 'jobs' agency has fallen apart amid calls for federal and state law enforcement investigations after a new, critical audit and a series of news reporting from a right-leaning Wisconsin newspaper. (DeFour, Wisconsin State Journal)
As Walker is still seeking God's will to run for the presidency, Walker doesn't want the national political press poking around, asking questions, amid the debris of Walker's failed jobs agency.
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) is almost universally recognized as a trainwreck, but the announcement yesterday that Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne will review a recent audit of the WEDC to determine whether to open a criminal investigation has Walker's office fuming.
Walker spokeswoman Laurel Patrick said, "This is clearly political gamesmanship by legislative Democrats and others more interested in playing politics than in helping improve economic development in Wisconsin." (DeFour, Wisconsin State Journal)......

(4,450 posts)they start whining about "partisan witch hunts." Every goddamned thing Walker DOES is partisan!
I have come to feel the same way about Laurel Patrick as I felt about Ari Fleischer whenever he would get in front of the cameras and act all indignant that someone dared to question Gee Dubya.

"This is clearly political gamesmanship by legislative Democrats and others more interested in playing politics than in helping improve economic development in Wisconsin"
So Walker uses the WEDC as a vehicle to take two very expensive overseas campaign trips, complete with photo-ops, using those trips to make himself out to be an expert on foreign policy in his campaign speeches, and his spokesperson talks about other people "playing politics"? And now Walker and his WEDC are mired in pay-to-play accusations, yet they have the nerve to accuse others of playing politics? Well that's rich.
