Walker's jobs agency says 26 awards made without review

50 minutes ago

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker's jobs agency says 26 awards were made to companies without a formal staff review by the underwriting department in the first 15 months of the agency's existence.

Walker's Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation announced the findings late Friday afternoon in advance of a July 20 meeting where one questionable loan was to be discussed.

The quasi-private jobs agency reviewed 371 awards it made between July 1, 2011, and June 30, 2013. Creating the agency was one of Walker's top priorities when he was first elected and it's been besieged with problems ever since.
