In picking a new register of deeds for Marinette County, Gov. Scott Walker picked a Republican campaign worker with no experience with land records and vital records.

He passed over three candidates with detailed knowledge of how the office of the register of deeds works, including two deputies who have worked in the office for years.

The appointment comes after the GOP governor faced criticism because the son of a campaign supporter landed a top job at the state Department of Commerce.

Renee Miller started as Marinette County register of deeds on Wednesday, after being appointed to it earlier this month. Miller is a friend of Rep. John Nygren (R-Marinette), has worked on his campaigns for five years and is married to Nygren's campaign treasurer, Paul Miller.

1. if it's true that she was passed over because of

bankruptcy, then they broke the effing' law AGAIN!!! It is not legal to discriminate in hiring based on bankruptcy!!! I hope she has a good attorney who will kick Walker's ass (figuratively speaking, of course).

3. Walker is such a dipsh!t. He keeps giving his opponents more and more
