Reply #19: Kreklow was Walker’s budget director.

[Ellipsis]

He is the author of the 2010 budget and the 2011 budget, both of which are illegal and deficit-ridden. Because of the way Kreklow structured these budgets, trying to balance its deficits by claiming yet to be negotiated concessions from the unions, has caused the County to be found to be bargaining in bad faith with the unions, thereby weakening the County’s strength in future negotiations.

Kreklow also has repeatedly lied to the Board. As the Board started to work on correcting the Kreklow had authored, he repeatedly denied that there was a deficit in it, despite it being shown by county auditor Jerome Heer. Later, Kreklow was also caught lying about the size of the deficit in the budget he said had no deficit, this time claiming it to be 30 times greater than what it really was. Kreklow also didn’t do himself any favors when he became snarky and disrespectful towards the County Board.
