Archer profited when job shifted from civil service to appointment
County supervisors remember Archer as dedicated to Walker

Madison - By far the biggest beneficiary of a move earlier this year to turn three dozen civil service jobs into political appointments is Cindy Archer, the one-time top aide to Gov. Scott Walker whose house was raided by the FBI last week.

Archer served as Walker's deputy administration secretary until last month, when she abruptly shifted into a job as legislative liaison at the Department of Children and Families. She is being paid $99,449 a year - $39,129 more than the $60,320 the last person to hold the job made.

The governor could funnel such a huge increase into the job because earlier this year Republicans who control the Legislature went along with his plan to give him more political appointments. The change allows department secretaries to go around the normal hiring process and name whomever they want as chief counsel, communications director and legislative liaison.

...and the saga continues.


I have to say after all I've read about her she's an all right lesbian "chick" from the near east side.


...just sayin'

1. If we ever learn why she is being investigated, we may be in a better position to

assess whether we think she's an all right woman or not.

Until then, I see no reason or basis for, any conclusion about her, except that she is tight with Walker and that alone might lead me to a negative assessment.

2. I wish I could make $99K a year just for being tight with a douche bag.

Of course, it would make me even more proud of myself if I was able to do it by sucking the life out of thousands of teachers and other government workers who got laid off so that there would be money in the coffers to pay my salary.
:sarcasm:


If this isn't dishonesty in government, then what is?:puke:

3. Perhaps... she just shot sheriff but not the deputy.

6. Sorry, I apologize for my lack of intellect, but your comment went right over my head

Then when I read your address reference for the long article about Wisconsin in the early 1900's, I was even more perplexed. But I do like Eric Clapton's song, "I Shot The Sheriff" I sing a few bars of it in my car, every time the sheriff goes by, or else comes screaming up behind me. :hi:

Perhaps someone else on the board will enlighten me?

4. No corrupt Koch-owned Walker hack is "all right" lesbian or not. Lesbians can be corrupt too.

This guy Walker and his hacks are CORRUPT corporate scum, and I hope they all go to right to fucking JAIL ! Sexual orientation doesn't have a damn thing to do with it.

5. Karl Rove did the same in the fed govt

converted civil service jobs to appointee. Then converted them back on the way out leaving booby-traps behind. :banghead:
