Wisc. GOP Gov Hires Donor's Dropout Son

Despite Gov. Scott Walker’s repeated claims that the State of Wisconsin is broke, his administration recently gave the college-dropout son of lobbyist and campaign donor Jerry Deschane an $81,500-a-year job overseeing environmental and regulatory matters. What do you think?   [Note as of noon, April 6th, Daily Kos reports: Gov Walker decreased the donor's son pay, but the son, who has no college degree, little management experience and two drunken driving convictions will keep the position.]

  "Oh, my God! If you convert that from Midwest dollars, it's like $200,000 a year!"

  "Those who argue that hiring an unqualified dropout for such a high-level position is irrational clearly haven’t thought through how much Scott Walker disdains the environment and regulations."

  "You see, Wisconsin state employees? That's where many of you went wrong. You finished college."
