On Friday afternoon, the Walker gang did a news dump, revealing that the corrupt Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, which Walker created and has chaired, was responsible for handing out more than $124 million to Wisconsin businesses without any formal staff review. Please see the diary by Jake formerly of the UP on this. Since hearing about this, I have had the feeling that this outrageous episode of incompetence and cronyism might just be the thing that finally exposes Scott Walker as the criminal he is.

But I have seen little follow-up to the Friday story in any major news outlet. But the Chicago Tribune did cover it in this story: "Scott Walker's Wisconsin jobs agency gave out $124 million without review"

2. The Chicago Tribune is a deeply Republican newspaper. It's amazing they've covered this nt
