Walker's WEDC beggin' for John Doe III status
Yep, this is some real national leadership showcased.
WEDC backed firm after learning state money was for luxury car debtsAnd bless you, Mike Gableman, Wisconsin Supreme Court justice and captive of the WMC, for helping keep John Doe I alive. And the full breadth of the special interest capture of Wisconsin to better serve Walker after his Rindflesich-aided promotion to Governor.

Can you just imagine how many school's roofs could have been fixed or replaced with that money. How do people have the audacity to do these types of things. It is unforgivable. Pure and utter shock at the brazen things they do with kahunas the size of watermelons. This falls directly on Walker as chairman of WEDC.
In an on the go interview about the budget yesterday, Walker looked scared, but tried to sound confident that they would get the budget done. Waiting to see how he explains the lack of revenue and a balanced budget, but not holding my breath.
Does anyone know why the federal Dept. of Justice is not all over this as they've been requested to investigate WEDC? Is it possible to bring a class-action suit against WEDC in behalf of the taxpayers of Wisconsin?
Anon 7;50..............What is interesting is that in order to balance the budget Walker is assuming that $700 million will be lapsed from state agencies back to the treasury in 2016-17. Thus he is obviously planning on spending cuts that apparently only he and his agency heads know about[perhaps only Walker knows about]. He carries this forward to the next biennium totaling $2.1 billion over the 3 year period. At best agencies have been able to lapse or return about $300 million per year total. Thus it appears Walker is claiming to balance his budget deficit of $2.1 billion by simply calculating that agencies will be returning that same amount to the General Fund as unspent money. Sure seems like a vast amount of services or personnel are going to be cut that Walker is not telling anyone about. I'm surprised that the media hasn't explored this!
YES!!!!!!
Anon 8:11 - Thing about DOJ is that they don't like to tip their hand before they're ready. Lassa and Barca said at their press conf that they're forwarding everything they get to federal investigators. Based on how WEDC has been stonewalling, foot-dragging, and releasing huge troves of documents that don't necessarily address what's been requested of them, the first we might hear is if the feds subpoena WEDC records.
I like your idea of bringing a civil action against WEDC. Not sure if just being a taxpayer would suffice for standing, but definitely something a lawyer should look into.
If anybody's curious to take a look at last Fri's document dump for themselves, a big chunk of it is online here: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/06/25/1396258/-Walker-s-WEDC-1-200-Pages-of-Corruption
