MADISON, WI -- Longtime Gov. Walker close confidant, lobbyist and former staffer, Jim Villa, has reportedly been named to a newly created state job that will pay him $178,000 a year. Gov. Walker is said to have given his personal recommendation of Villa for the job.

One Wisconsin Now Executive Director Scot Ross commented, "Filling this job with a scandal tainted figure like Mr. Villa is a $178,000 a year exclamation point to Gov. Walker's record of corruption, cronyism and failure."

Villa snagged the job, and Gov. Walker's personal support, despite being fingered by a former top Walker aide as one of the targets of a John Doe criminal investigation of the Walker Administration in Milwaukee County that netted criminal convictions of six close Walker aides and associates on charges ranging from illegal campaigning on public time, laundering of campaign contributions and embezzlement.

Villa's association with Walker stretches back some time, and the recent secret criminal investigation of wrongdoing of Walker's time in Milwaukee County was not the first time Villa has been intimately associated with questionable conduct. Among the "highlights" of his resume:
