Is Walker quietly making promises on city employee residency rules? Oct. 24, 2010 |(112) COMMENTS

The head of the Milwaukee Professional Firefighters Association is very open about his support of Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker's candidacy for governor.

Dave Seager even stars in a TV ad promoting the Republican nominee.

But there is one thing Seager won't touch.

He won't say whether Walker has privately vowed to overturn Milwaukee's residency requirement for city cops and firefighters if he's elected.

"I do not have a comment right now," Seager said last week when the question was put to him.

Seager said he would be willing to talk about that issue on Nov. 3 - the day after the general election.http://www.jsonline.com/watchdog/noquarter/105647983.html
