Hours after damning audit, Scott Walker calls off WEDC-WHEDA merger

Gov. Scott Walker has cancelled a planned merger of two economic development agencies after a new audit said Walker's job-creating entity failed to follow statutes or its own policies when making financial awards.

The audit released Friday also says the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. failed to meet all statutory requirements related to program oversight and that staff "did not consistently comply with policies established by WEDC’s own governing board" which is chaired by Walker.

The WEDC has been the way Walker pays back contributors to the Wisconsin Club for Growth super-pac which he constantly fund raises for. The utter lack of accountability has resulted in massive mismanagement of funds and contracts.
