Front Page Mil. Journal Article on Walker Appointments

[AleksS]

Apparently big governmental pay winners this year were Walker political appointments--appointments he made possible by changing the rules to give himself the power to make the appointments. (OK, that was a horrible and awkward sentence, I'm sorry!)

The article made the front page of the Journal today, but I can't find it online. If anyone can help, or saw the article in the print version as well, that would be great.

The title was along the lines of: "Political Appointments Score Big" and the article detailed how Walker was rewarding his friends and contributors with pay raises under his newly granted civil service appointment powers.

There's a lot on the JSOnline site about the now infamous Archer as the biggest "winner" in the Walker-appointment-payout-bonanza, but the headline I saw at the paperbox was great, and I'd love to find that one online.

P.S. Should this get dubbed "Appointment-gate?"

5. Can we all say "conservanazis are hypocrites"? Gov. Wanker scores another one.

Wanker keeps giving the Democrats in Wisconsin more and more ammunition to use against him in the recall campaign. They might win IF you can counter the conservanazis on WTMJ and WISN. Good luck.

7. Cindy Archer has yet to show up for work at new job

Heard John Nichols on ‘The Mike’ this AM and he reports that Cindy Archer has yet to show up for work at Children & Family Services but she is getting paid.
