Not recent, but an update on WI Dept. Wrkfrc Dvlpmnt
A little while ago someone posted in this group, noting that
the there had been revolving door changes, after the 3rd
person -- in months -- had been appointed to head the Wis.
Dept. of Workforce Development.
If it's already been posted, sorry for the dupe, but it was
news to me:

Contacted by phone Friday, Manuel Manny Perez was asked and e-mailed the following questions:
Were you contacted by anyone at DWD regarding a workplace complaint regarding Ms Allison Rozek and you during your tenure as DWD Sec?
Can you knock down the allegation that Ms Allison Rozek made a workplace complaint that you dealt with during your tenure as DWD Sec?
Perez refused to knock down the allegation of sexual harassment and a workplace complaint, referring this writer to past media statements pointing
to opportunities in the private sector and his having accomplished much in a very short period of time in his tenure at the DWD, as the reason he left.
Here's the background on Perez, Walker's 1st appt. to this "important" state post... He
used to run an employment staffing service. Located right in the middle of the poorest
part of Milwaukee's Latino near-south side. Promising to "increase profits" for the clients
that hired them, by paying the lowest wages possible, offering no benefits, and (usually?)
few (or zero) opportunities for advancement, for the workers that were contracted out.
