Scott Walker Paying $81,500+ A Year To College Dropout

[laurcunningham]

Today, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reveals that Walker is using state funds to pay more than $81,500 a year to the 26-year-old son of a major campaign donor with no college degree and two drunken-driving convictions.

Despite having almost no management experience, UW Madison college dropout Brian Deschane now oversees state environmental and regulatory issues and manages dozens of Commerce Department employees. After only two months on the job, Deschane has already received a 26 percent pay raise and a promotion.

What?! It doesn't surprise me, but the hell?

The part that makes me the angriest is the fact that the 26 year old is managing people. People who are busting their asses to get by and all the 26 year old had to do was drive drunk and have a rich father.

Surely you're not suggesting that the governor of a state would do something as dumb as hire a repeat drunk driver who is thoroughly unqualified for a job and is overpaying him because said governor is friends with his daddy, are you?

Surely not.

Not to be crass, but WHAT is up with dude's eyes? Is this a photoshopped picture or is he really that cockeyed?

I googled the question. I dare not say where it led me.

It looks worse in that pic than some others, but he does appear to have weird alignment.

That's considered theft or embezzlement in parts where the law still prevails.

That's going to sit well with the Wisconsin citizens who just had their rights and financial safety nets taken away from them.

Hey, ignorance is the new black, right? Who needs school when you can just lick the butts of the people who shit on you?

Bristol Palin is living here in AZ now.
Gov Brewer will have to be the one to overpay her from tax-payer funds for doing something she isn't qualified to do.

I'm so sorry...

I hope this goes viral.."environmental and regulatory agency"! Koch's Walker's MO is there are no regulations and the hell with the environment..what else can we ruin?

That's what Cons do ..get in office and give their campaign donors tax cuts but Walker giving this guy a cushy job when he's busting teachers and all working people's rights is in their face "Yeah, so ..What are you gonna do about it?".

No shock there, but there's no such thing as a teabagger with integrity.
