It is my friend Gov Walker who has yet to implement the spreadin'-the-pain concept he trumpets.

From the last days of his campaign to his first few months in office, about the same time OMB director Pat Pitney was lauded by you Dermot for her Olympic marksmanship and other puff pieces on the developing administration were published, Walker repeatedly said he'd lower those high state employee salaries.

The record shows that Walker hired people in his very own office at higher salaries than  people being let go. Olympian Pitney was hired at $20,000+ more than her predecessor. His presser, Grace Jang, was hired at a higher salary than her predecessor - just after she finished her stint as the reporter and the primary driver of the disgraced National Guard story for KTUU.  The new leg director was brought in at a higher salary than his predecessor...

Walker continues to spout his spread-the-pain mantra. But, lies about it as he doles out contracts to buddies and unsustainable salaries.
