Wisconsin: Another day, another Walker crony
http://cognidissidence.blogspot.com/2012/02/another-day-another-walker-crony.html
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting about Angela Herl, the wife of Dane County Republican Party Chair Mike Herl, who just got a political appointment in the Walker administration and a really nice raise, worth more than what some people make in a year:
The head of a state agency late last year gave a political appointment - and a nearly $27,000 annual raise - to the wife of a Republican Party official without considering any other applicants, state records show.
...
With the new job, Herl received a 49% pay boost, raising her annual salary from $54,378 to $81,265.
Herl is married to Mike Herl, chairman of the Dane County Republican Party, and she landed her new job less than a year after GOP Gov. Scott Walker faced an uproar over the hiring of a campaign donor's son with few qualifications.
Angela Herl has an associate's degree in accounting from Madison Area Technical College but not a bachelor's degree, according to the state. The article goes on to say how no other people were even considered and how Ms. Herl didn't even have to go through the motions of providing a resume.
