Scott Walker's Top Anti-Worker Aide Target of FBI Raid;
Corruption in Walker's Administration?

A secret probe into political wrongdoing has swept up the point person on the Wisconsin governor's anti-union efforts; will it reach the governor himself?

When Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker took a phone call that he thought was from billionaire campaign donor David Koch, he described the secret meeting of his cabinet at which he outlined the budget repair bill that stripped collective bargaining protections from public employees and teachers, replaced civil servants with political cronies and made it possible to sell off public utilities in no-bid deals with out-of-state corporations.

.

.

E-mails obtained by the Center for Media and Democracy reveal that the cabinet was indeed present for the meeting. The secretaries and gubernatorial aides who were present are listed. But so, too, is one other key player in the administration: the individual identified in e-mails from key players in the Walker administration as the point person for the governors push to radically restructure labor relations and state governmenta project so significant to Walker that he declared, This is our moment.

.

That person? Cynthia Archer, the subject of last weeks FBI raid, which removed a crate of documents from her Madison home, collected her computers hard drive and revealed to most Wisconsinites that a John Doe probe has targeted key aides to Walker during his service as county executive and governor. The probe remains secret, but leaks associated with it suggest that the focus is political wrongdoing and corruption. One top donor to Walkers 2010 gubernatorial campaign has already been put on probation after admitting to felony violations of campaign finance and money laundering rules.

.

The governor says he does not know anything about the inquiry beyond what he has read in the press. But Walkers campaign, which remains a going endeavor, has hired a former US attorneywith extensive experience dealing with federal investigationsto respond to his a subpoena related to the John Doe probe for email and other records. And that attorneys firm has, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, been paid more than $60,000.

Wisconsin leads the nation when it comes to cutting support for education.

.

Wisconsin has moved to take authority away from local elected school boards and parents and to rest it with political appointees who respond to Gov. Scott Walker and out-of-state groups that are spending millions of dollars to undermine public education.

.

Wisconsins best and brightest teachers the Teacher of the Year award winners have joined mass demonstrations to decry the assault by politicians and their cronies on public education.

.

Whats Walkers response? He wants to tell the nation how to do the same.

.

Thats right. Walker has been invited to join governors from states across the country for a special Education Nation panel session focused on education and economic competitiveness, titledThe State of Education: The Governors Perspective.

.

snip

.

Walker has no great story to tell about reforms in Wisconsin. Walker has no great story to tell about bipartisan collaborations. Yet the governor is spouting off about how he will tell his fellow governors a thing or two about how to improve education.

.

What an epic example of arrogance!

.

It is no wonder that the only thing dropping faster than state support for education in Scott Walkers Wisconsin is the governors approval rating.
