Walker Violated Public Records Law: So say former AG and Milwaukee supervisor
A former Wisconsin attorney general and a Milwaukee county supervisor who was subpoenaed by the John Doe prosecutor are both wondering why Scott Walker wasn’t charged with violating the state’s public records law while he was Milwaukee county executive.
The recently released 27,000 pages of documents from the first John Doe investigation provided enough evidence to bring such a charge, they say.
John Weishan, a Democrat and a critic of Walker on the Milwaukee County board, submitted an open records request for the computer communications in the county executive’s office back in the spring of 2010. Weishan suspected at the time that Walker or members of his staff were doing campaign work on the public dime, which turned out to be the case.
But Weishan received only four vacuous pages back in response to his request, along with a bill for $2,800 and the accusation from Walker’s staff that the supervisor was engaged in a “fishing expedition.”
Today, Weishan says, he feels vindicated. The document dump “proves that everything I thought was going on at the time did take place,” he says.
