Fourth former Scott Walker administration official blasts the governor ahead of election
Source: Journal Sentinel
MADISON - A fourth former official in Gov. Scott Walker's administration has publicly denounced the governor as he seeks a third term — this time, leaving his six-figure job to do so.
Paul Jadin, the first CEO of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp., has resigned from his $208,000 position as president of the Madison Region Economic Partnership, according to board chairman Tim Gaillard.
The partnership's board rejected Jadin's resignation letter, which he submitted before the Wisconsin State Journal first published a letter Jadin signed along with two other former Walker officials blasting the governor, but Jadin told the paper he had to make a "clean break."
A fourth Walker official has also spoken out against Walker, though he hasn't said whether he would vote for his opponent.
"It's hard to think of another instance like this where even one or two cabinet secretaries would come and speak out against a sitting governor. To have four is unprecedented," said Barry Burden, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Why?
This was down a bit:
In the letter signed by Jadin, former Department of Corrections Secretary Ed Wall and former Department of Financial Institutions Secretary Peter Bildsten, the former Walker officials urge voters to support Democrat Tony Evers for governor because Walker's administration "lacked integrity."
