Still No Answer: Why does Governor Scott Walker have a criminal defense fund?

Posted May 29th, 2012 @ 8:08 AM by

As I ask in this letter to the editor in the CapTimes (and at this very blog), why does Governor Scott Walker have a criminal defense fund?

Lukas Diaz: Why does Walker have criminal defense fund?

State law allows an officeholder to have a defense fund only if he is being charged with a crime, thinks he is being charged with a crime, is paying for the defense of an agent charged with a crime, or has been convicted of a crime.

Either Walker is being investigated for serious crimes or he is defending those who have been accused of or are guilty of serious crimes. Don’t the people of Wisconsin deserve an answer before the election?

So will any of the Wisconsin’s media ask Scott Walker about it? I hear our Governor is hiding from the press, I wonder why?… Scott Walker flies under radar in Wisconsin recall

Wisconsin Democrats like to note that Matthews, Walker’s spokeswoman, formerly worked for Sharron Angle’s 2010 Senate campaign in Nevada. That campaign once used a decoy to dodge a pack of journalists waiting for the GOP Senate candidate outside a campaign event and banned a local television station from their election night party for ambushing the candidate at the airport.
