Conservative supported web site churning more tales….

"The Wisconsin Reporter is a conservative website that is funded by conservative foundations. In 2012, the Milwaukee-based Bradley Foundation donated $190,000 to help underwrite the website. The Bradley Foundation is headed by Michael Grebe, chairman of Walker's campaign committee."

" Albers' comments echoed those made Wednesday by former Trek human resources director Gary Ellerman to a conservative website, Wisconsin Reporter. Ellerman is the chairman of the Jefferson County Republican Party and ran as a sham Democratic candidate in the 2012 Senate recall primary to help the incumbent GOP senator in that race.

The Wisconsin Reporter is a conservative website that is funded by conservative foundations. In 2012, the Milwaukee-based Bradley Foundation donated $190,000 to help underwrite the website. The Bradley Foundation is headed by Michael Grebe, chairman of Walker's campaign committee.

Albers said he considered himself a conservative and had donated $50 to Burke's opponent, Gov. Scott Walker, and $1,100 to former GOP gubernatorial candidate Mark Green. He said he wasn't active in Republican politics.
