Walker's WEDC Proposes Gag Order On Board Members

walker-wedcAfter years of failure, Scott Walker and WEDC have come up with a solution - hide.

MADISON - Yesterday, it was reported that the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) is considering imposing a gag order on its board members that would deter them from releasing documents or talking to the press by threatening disciplinary consequences if they do.

Within hours of the report being released, WEDC Secretary and CEO Mark Morgan pulled the proposal from the agenda the board was set to discuss after backlash from Democrats and Republicans, both citing the lack of transparency that would result from the proposal.


Nine of the thirteen board members were hand-picked by Scott Walker to do his bidding, and after years of controversies, scandals, and failure to deliver jobs to Wisconsin, Walker and his WEDC cronies are trying to hide their misguided actions and agenda from the public. This just adds to the long list of Scott Walker's attempts to sweep the failures of his administration under the rug.

Despite the objections we see from Walker and his colleagues as they continue to try and hide their actions and treat WEDC like their own personal piggy bank, Wisconsinites deserve to know the actions and intent of publicly funded agencies like WEDC................

I hear when a weasel goes bad the other weasels call it a walker. Walker stands alone. No other animal is despicable enough to be compared to him.. Except maybe a Wolverine.. they piss on everything so no other animals can benefit from it. No, I take it back.. Walker stands alone..
