From "United Wisconsin"

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) just released their report named "The Worst Governors in America," and Scott Walker received the dubious title of "ringmaster" in the circus of corrupt and power-abusing Governor's across the nation...

...According to the report, Scott Walker's specialty is "juggling the Koch brothers agenda" by "working on behalf of billionaires and assaulting workers' rights." The report also spotlights Walker's violation of the Wisconsin Constitution and state law by "tracking down state senators to force a vote on a measure backed by his campaign donors to eliminate collective bargaining rights."

Very complete and well-documented summary. For example, from the info on the WEDC fiasco, p. 56:

In 2012, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported it {W.E.D.C.} had failed to adequately track millions of dollars in overdue loans, prompting the resignation of senior managers. (69) In May 2013, the Wisconsin Audit Bureau released a report detailing illegal activity and a lack of oversight within the agency. (70) The audit report determined the WEDC did not have sufficient policies in place to deal with $520 million in grant, loan, and tax-credit programs, and found it did not obey the law or its own existing policies when handling delinquent loans.(71) The WEDC did not have invoices or other required documents for a number of grants the audit board reviewed. (72) The agency also retroactively gave out $906,000 in tax credits for job creation and employee training. (73)

... The WEDC also did not verify performance of grant recipients — something required by the state — and in some cases gave tax breaks to ineligible companies. (75) In addition, WEDC employees inexplicably spent agency money on alcohol, iTunes gift cards, and season tickets to University of Wisconsin football games...

2. Could it be cuz the same guys that own Walker, also own (or maybe just rent)

... most all of those same mainstream outlets, on a regular basis.

It's bad for business to be talkin' crap about the bosses' prized pet / most talented tin-cup monkey.
