The Political Environment: Walker's jobs agency models failure, and one product

Wednesday, April 1, 2015

The product is a revolving door.

The failure.

The bigger picture.

Anonymous said...: This isn't glitch. It's a feature. The entire point of wedc was to build a campaign tool for Walker's 2016 White House run and not in-terms of success for Wisconsin. The media will and is promoting Walker's lies about his economic policies anyhow. wedc doesn't need to accomplish anything except create a base of campaign gifts. The more folks move in-and-out the better for Walker. The revolving door means he has more cronies in-place to build his 2016 campaign. Wisconsin media reports the constant turnover as "normal" and has never done a complete story on wedc failures, multimillion dollar write-offs, pay-to-play, and dysfunctional leadership. The state's taxpayers are being fleeced and kept in the dark.; April 1, 2015 at 4:13 PM
Jake formerly of the LP said...: Correct. They make the deals while working for WEDC, and make the deals once they leave WEDC (Ryan Murray is the lead lobbyist on the Uber/Lyft bill that just got introduced)
