No surprise here .The story missed one dirty detail in that it was reported at the time that the state paid half of Walkers wife's airfare on one of the trips . Walker took his wife along for company and decided on his own the state would pay half. That is clearly a misuse of state money. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out these nations and companies aren't giving Walker , his unneeded wife , and staff , airfare , luxury hotels , and gifts for nothing .  These trips are as wasteful as the state paying for Walker to fly to D.C. to fly back on Air Force One with Obama.  Walker is clearly obsessed with this gas line to the point he can't think clearly.  If the big boys are pulling out because the project doesn't pencil out , you know the project is a sure loser. Since Walker steadfastly refuses to accept reality , he needs to be recalled. There is little doubt he'll keep making these wasteful trips as long as he can get away with it. Shame on Walker.  Next he'll want our PFD
