Just gonna drop this here:

“The chairman of the State Public Defender Board on Thursday defended the hiring of a longtime aide to Gov. Scott Walker for the public defender office’s top IT position — even though she didn’t interview for the job and wasn’t a finalist…

Archer was hired as chief information officer for the office at a salary 31 percent higher than her predecessor. Archer also received an 11.7 percent pay raise, to $113,459 annually. Archer was not one of seven candidates who interviewed for the job, nor one of two finalists…

Archer was Walker’s administrative services director in Milwaukee County and initially was deputy administration secretary when Walker became governor. In 2011 police raided her Madison home in the John Doe investigation that led to convictions of six former Walker aides and associates. Emails from that investigation showed Archer was among Walker’s campaign and county staff who used private emails and a secret Internet router to hide campaign-related communications from public disclosure. Archer and Walker were never charged with any wrongdoing.”

Yep. Wingnut welfare is alive and kicking in Wisconsin. Protecting ‘the Guv’ sure seems to pay well.
