The only sensible answer to this problem is to elect people like him. These folk were going to make government accountable and fiscally responsible, now this man has been caught stealing from the public in an act so egregious that it can't be rationally explained away.
Stealing? Where's the proof he can't do the job?

Furthermore... is this guy union? Not likely, which means he won't be party to holding taxpayers hostage to greedy demands in perpetuity.

Oh, and as an added bonus, he can be fired without the union protectionism that safeguards the incompetent and lazy.

Someone please explain this. I thought the state was broke?
Not enough information provided to determine if this holds relevance
1) Is this a newly created position?
2) What was the salary of the individual who held the position previously?
3) how do you know he's a "drunk" or was this just to attack? The fact that he's had 2 DUI's means he's driven while drunk, that doesnt mean he is a drunk.
4) I also dont have a degree, and I earn far more than $81K a year.. What are you trying to say?

Wis. gov under fire for hiring of lobbyist's son - chicagotribune.com
Did Walker say teachers did not deserve their salaries, or did he argue that they need to be more like us taxpayers and pay more into their benefit and retirement plans??

Of course Republicans are more Patriotic and have better values than Democrats! Yeah sure thing! lol

Look at all the crap he is getting already.
BWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Poor baby!

If you really can't comprehend what's going on stop typing.
Other than starting your own business, please show us rational grown-ups where theres a public sector job that requires no college degree, no job experience, no management experience, requires you to oversee and supervise others with direct job experience on environmental and regulatory issues. Starting salary eighty thousand plus.

Where's the proof he even knows what the job is??..where's the proof he can even do the job. Did he even have to interview for this job??..that should have been a laugh!!

"Are you a college graduate "??...no.

"How much experience do you have performing this job"??...none.

"How many employees have you supervised'??...none.

"What can you tell us about the environmental and regulatory issues as they pertain to this job"...nothing.

"Can you pass a background check"??...no.

"Uhhhmmm, fine your hired. Welcome aboard"

You don't even know what the job is. What, exactly, are his responsibilities, how is he expected to execute them, who does he report to, etc.?

Don't forget that Ted Kennedy was also a drunk driver and actually killed someone. Somehow he landed a taxpayer-funded job that paid much more and required much more responsibility.
