Cont. re: Gov’s hire of lobbyists to represent him to legislators

While my friend Gov. Walker told everyone there was a hiring freeze because of the state’s dire financial situation and to give the perception that he reined in spending, Walker hired high-priced lobbyists to represent him & his legislation to legislators & other public officials statewide. (Turns out one of those lobbyists erroneously charged the state for phantom meetings. After getting caught and winter’s passing, he was paid in full in April. How's that for accountability in the gov's office!)

That's in addition to numerous high-salaried special assistants within his office were there already exists a legislative liaison office: Leg. Director, Deputy Leg Director, & Leg Office Asst.

Totally, these 3 staffers within the gov’s office whose jobs are to carry out the gov’s legislative agenda already cost us over $327,000 in salary alone.

Next year’s budget adds a 4th person to this division within the gov’s office.
