Wisconsin: Gov. Scott Walker's corruption scandal brings shame to Wisconsin

From
The Isthmus, an excellent synopsis of felons, indicted and otherwise, involved with Herr Walker.
Actually, we need to start before Walker was elected governor -- specifically 1987, when Walker ran for student body president at Marquette University. During that campaign, he was found to be in violation of the school's campaign rules, including engaging in door-to-door campaigning, which was strictly prohibited. Walker was ultimately described to be "unfit for presidency" by the Marquette Tribune. When the Tribune endorsed Walker's opponent, Walker's supporters destroyed as many copies of the newspaper as they could find. This provides a window into our governor's character. Unfortunately, this incident received only cursory media attention during Walker's bid for governor.

Then, in September of 2011, agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation executed a search warrant at the residence of Cynthia Archer, a high-ranking official in Walker's Department of Administration described as having played an active role in the plan to eliminate the collective bargaining rights of public employees. Archer was, by all accounts, a top aide to Walker, and was present during the dinner Walker assembled to announce the collective bargaining bill to his cabinet. It was reported that during the FBI raid, agents seized a box of documents from Archer's home, and a hard drive from a computer that Archer had recently given to her neighbor.
From there, Walker's inner circle, both from his campaign organization and his former staff at the Milwaukee County Executive office, utterly unraveled. So far, six of his closest allies have been arrested and charged with felonies. At least one of them is talking. Let me ask you: How many of your close friends have committed felonies on your behalf?
Here is a description of the cast of characters, with more likely to come.
Darlene Wink: Wink served as Constituents Services Coordinator in the Milwaukee County Executive's office. Wink has entered a guilty plea to two misdemeanor counts of political solicitation by a public employee, and is currently cooperating with prosecutors in the John Doe investigation. While employed with Walker's office, Wink posted numerous comments on political blogs promoting Scott Walker for governor. Even more troubling, Wink, while paid by the Milwaukee County taxpayers, actively worked on Walker's campaign, including organizing gala fundraisers while on duty. One of the people Wink communicated with regarding these fundraisers was none other than Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee.
