Latest Scott Walker 'John Doe' probe cost Wisconsin taxpayers $1 million
2015-05-14
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] An effort to investigate Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's political fundraising during his 2012 recall election cost Badger State voters $1.1 million, recently released court documents show. The investigation was halted last year after a judge determined that the activities alleged in the probe were not in fact illegal.

The figures may grow higher. At least seven lawsuits relating to the "John Doe" probe, a secret investigative procedure available to state prosecutors, have been filed and litigation remains ongoing, reported the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Patrick Marley. The Wisconsin Club for Growth, one of the targets of the probe, has appealed for a dismissal of its lawsuit to the Supreme Court.

#2  This group is a lot like the District Attorney in the People's Republic of Travis County. "We'll keep spending your money until we get the results we want."

#1  This sort of cost should come out of the salaries of public employees only.

Either take a certain percentage out of all of them, or take out entire salaries until you've paid the million dollars.
