Yes, Scott Walker's words have been rated "false" at some level in 31 of 48 statements vetted by PolitiFact, and, yes, he hid his anti-union "divide and conquer" plan from workers and citizens during the 2010 Gubernatorial campaign, and yes, his taxpayer-paid County staff established a secret political communications system 25 from his door, and yes, he's the first Wisconsin Governor to establish a criminal defense fund as a John Doe probe run by a judge and District Attorney has snared and criminally-charged former aides, appointees and contributors - - but let's give him his due.
He's had a moment of truth-telling - - admitting, on camera (!), that limitations on public sector collective bargaining and union representation he'd sought and obtained through his controversial deficit and budget-repair bill known as Act 10 "didn't save any [taxpayer] money."
Why did Walker come clean on that? Why the noteworthy exception to the script of secrecy and false-speaking that we now know began during the 2010 campaign?
Because he was testifying before Congress.
That's what it takes to wrench the truth out of this Eagle Scout.
