Walkergate: The Other Campaign Team

http://cognidissidence.blogspot.com/2012/03/walkergate-other-campaign-team.html

So far, for the most part, the news coming out about Walkergate has been centered around some of Scott Walker's staff when he was Milwaukee County Executive.
There is Darlene Wink, who was his constituent affairs person, has already pleaded guilty in exchange for a couple of misdemeanor charges and the promise to turn state's witness....

...But what most of us have forgotten is that Walkergate is a multi-layered monstrosity, the corruption of the courthouse being but just one layer of his labyrinth of his insidiousness.

There is William E. Gardner, the railroad tycoon, who was making illegal campaign donations.

Then there is Walker's other campaign team, the one that was supposed to be, you know, doing the actual campaigning. And there's already some things to keep an eye on.

People like his former campaign spokeswoman, Jill Bader. When she wasn't busy sending out racist tweets, she was busy setting up meetings between Walker and supporters at county events.
