TRANSPARENCYandACCOUNTABILITY.ORG, “IT's OUR TURN”

8
Apr

The magical mystery tour of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker continues.

This week Walker appointed a lobbyist’s (who donated $120,000 to Walker’s election campaign last year) 27 year old son to a job paying $81,500 a year in Wisconsin’s Department of Environmental Protection Agency.

The lobbyist’s son has no environmental agency experience, is a college drop out, and has two DUI’s on his record.  Hey we all make mistakes – we’re not throwing stones at this guy.

Walker can pay this guy $81,500 but will not pay an educator with a masters degree $50,000 to teach our children.

Come on Governor Walker, you owe the people of Wisconsin more respect than this.  Maybe if you paid teachers instead of lobbyists their sons might become teachers.
