Follow Scott Walker's Special Interest Money

Thanks to the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign for breaking this out.  Need we ask for any more explanation for Scott Walker's obeisance to the road-builders, home builders, energy sector, realtors, et al, etc., as he turns state government into a special interest subsidiary?

Wisconsin isn't open for business. It's open to be sold.





Walker, Scott
Governor, Republican, Fall 2010

It is interesting to follow the link and see that under Natural Resources, most of the contributors are from oil and gas. However, it is interesting that the director of the Caledonia Conservancy made numerous contributions to Walker, whose actual policy prescriptions run diametrically opposed to an organization such as a land conservancy.
