Robin Vos Runs! (cog diss)

NO...Robin Vos is not running from his oath as a married man that he swore before God twice(at least) - He already has done that twice(at least)! Nor is he looking to run for Governor....he knows he has no chance!

No Robin Vos is running from responsibility, again. He is trying very hard to distance himself(and his party) from the debacle that is the United Sportsmen Scandal.
However, it is not working. As typical, when Robin Vos speaks, ethics go flying out the window!

First some background on United Sportsmen.

Scott Suder wrote a grant of WI taxpayer money into the last budget. This money was written specifically for one group, a bunch of old Suder Staffers and republican donors. It was for the sum of $500,000 and it was also written to give this group a sum of $250,000 annually for as far as we could see.

The problem was, that as is typical for the WI republicans, the former Suder staffers were not qualified in any sort of useful talent to actually justify such a payment, so Suder disguised it as a fishing and hunting grant. Then Suder resigned his position to take another government position to double dip and help pad his WI taxpayer provided pension by joining the Walker Administration.

Almost from the minute he wrote this horrendous piece of WI taxpayer theft, (it was debated all of 7 minutes then quickly passed by the Joint Finance Committee), there were major problems.

First, as is par for the course for Wisconsin republicans, they lied from the start. First about their tax exempt status.
