How Long Will GMC Hold Report On Milwaukee County's Imperiled Finances?

Here's a fair question, as GOP and Bradley Foundation major domo Michael Grebe said to Dan Bice when the investigative columnist if Grebe had been instrumental in getting the Greater Milwaukee Committee to withhold its report on Milwaukee County's dire financial straits until after the election:

Is the GMC going to hold onto the report until after the swearing in of Scott Walker, the victorious Republican gubernatorial candidate, on Jan 3rd?

Or  until after Walker resigns as Milwaukee County Executive, assuming he leaves that office early?

Or how about tomorrow?

Grebe is co-chair of Walker's transition team, chairman of the GMC and was chair of Walker's campaign.

Bice somehow obtained a copy of the report's summary: Here is how he reported his exchange with Grebe:

"Michael Grebe, the head of the conservative Bradley Foundation, is chairman of both the Greater Milwaukee Committee and the campaign for Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker, the Republican gubernatorial nominee. Walker is taking on Mayor Tom Barrett, the Democratic nominee.
Did Grebe have a hand in making sure the report - which could be used against Walker - didn't come out before the Nov. 2 election?
"It's a fair question," Grebe said Friday.'"
One fair question deserves another.
