WEDC: Walker's Economy-Destroying Cronies
Coverage thanks to Cognitive Dissidence.
In July, Walker and WEDC got caught trying to do some bid rigging with a company called Skyward. When caught, Walker said: "As soon as our office learned of it, we put a stop to it." Yeah, that's the same thing he said about Walkergate.
Just a month ago, as WEDC was touting their new slogan of "In Fitzwalkerstan"*, they were also getting slammed by the Feds for illegally handing out grants. To make things even worse, Walker was caught trying to cover up the problem from the board itself.
...
It's now come out that WEDC has lost track of some $69 million in loans, with $9 million of them being overdue. The reason they lapsed on following these loans was because no one was hired to do so!
...
Yet the interim director that Walker appointed is Reed Hall, a member of Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce (WMC). WMC, an member of ALEC, spent tens of millions of dollars, if not hundreds of millions of dollars, over the last few years to bring us the likes of Walker, David Prosser, the Fitzgerald Boyz, and Mike Gableman, just to name a few.
Much more at the link.
