Scott Walker Spending Tax Dollars Lavishly on Himself While Squeezing Everyone Else
We now know how much Scott Walkers security detail is costing "the hardworking taxpayers of Wisconsin" (he always uses that phrase to cut spending, so it's a bit of Scottenfreuden for me to use it here).
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R-It's Never My Fault) has brought austerity to the state, Mississippi sink-to-the-bottom policies, bitter political divisiveness, extremism, anti-worker, anti-woman, crush the poor and disabled policies to Wisconsin. He granted a stingy 1% wage increase to state employees (denied to workers who have still managed to keep their unions) while sucking out 18% of their already low wages. "We're broke", he claimed repeatedly when he rolled out his budgets.
While he was doing that, however, he managed to implant his cronies not just in appointed positions, but embedded many in Civil Service positions with enormous salary increases over their predecessors. He recently hired another of his former Milwaukee County staffers, Cynthia Archer (who was involved in the original John Doe Probe, but kept her mouth shut), to a job she didn't apply for (overlooking the ones who had applied for the job), never interviewed for, with a salary of $113,000 per year (131% higher than the person she replaced).
And today we find out that her salary exceeds the top pay for that position.
It's been a pattern for Walker hiring cronies into big positions along with big, big, big raises. Then again, those big salaries are buying a whole lot of loyalty ... and silence.
