Complicit In Sportsmen's Grant Scandal, Walker Vows To Fight Fraud Elsewhere

I almost feel guilty pointing out the phoniness in this blatantly politicized Scott Walker two-step, but let's let him help his puffed-up rhetoric about rooting out waste in public assistance programs - -

"We don't want to in any way keep people from getting assistance that is warranted, that they're legitimately qualified for, that they need at the time, but that shouldn't be our overriding focal point," Walker said. "It should be on hitting that balance...and making sure we're good stewards of taxpayer dollars."
- - then go back to his unwillingness to second-guess Scott Suder, his newest PSC senior staff appointee and former GOP State Assembly leader for sneakily shoveling $500,000 in taxpayers' dollars to a bunch of political allies-cum-sporting promoters, and make just this one little edit (italicized) in his quote above:
"We don't want to in any way keep sportsmen's groups from getting assistance that is warranted, that they're legitimately qualified for, that they need at the time, but that shouldn't be our overriding focal point," Walker said. "It should be on hitting that balance...and making sure we're good stewards of taxpayer dollars."

Look! Squirrel!

They're desperate, aren't they. This baby definitely has legs, and is hurting Walker and WisGOP. You can tell by their desperation to try to change the subject to anything else.
