Move along here, there’s nothing suspicious going on…
Conservative Milwaukee financier Stephen Einhorn and his wife, Nancy, donated $25,000 to Gov. Scott Walker a month before Einhorn’s firm won a contract to manage $1 million of taxpayer money, potentially triggering federal “pay-to-play” conflict of interest rules.
Einhorn’s Capital Midwest and two other companies were chosen by the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority from a field of six applicants to invest $7 million of federal money in state businesses, particularly those in low-income communities. After an inquiry by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about the two $12,500 contributions from the Einhorns, a WHEDA official said the agency is holding off on releasing the money to Capital Midwest until the firm resolves questions about the federal rule.
“They’ve got to get this answered before anybody’s comfortable making any kind of final release,” said John Hogan, WHEDA chief operating officer.
I’ll give Stephen Einhorn credit….he got a heck of a return on his $25,000 investment in Gov. Walker’s campaign.
Odd they never mentioned he was the guy who paid for all those billboards that were deemed racist by many. Then he gets money to invest in the inner city?
You can’t make this stuff up:)
IPSO FACTO…. but hey, LET’S NOT FORGET WHAT THE ‘DISHONARABLE’ JUDGE MICHAEL GABLEMAN GOT JUST A SHORT TIME AFTER HE DONATED 5,000 DOLLARS TO THE GOVERNORS CAMPAIGN!!! NOW WE KNOW HOW MUCH A SEAT ON THE wISCONSIN SUPREME COURT BENCH IS WORTH!! ‘COURSE, WHEN YOU GET CAUGHT WITH YOUR FINGERS IN THE COOKIE JAR…. AGAIN… YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE THE TAXPAYERS OF WISCONSIN SHELL OUT TO PROTECT YOUR OWN CORPULENT BUTT BY DEMANDING TAXPAYERS PAY TO PROTECT YOU FROM THE CROOKED DEALINGS YOU’RE PERPETRATING ON THE VERY FOLKS YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE “SERVING AND PROTECTING” WHILE DISPENSING EQUAL JUSTICE… WELL, AT LEAST “FABLEMAN” HAD TO PAY TWICE WHAT HE PAID TO THE PREVIOUS GOVERNORS CAMPAIGN TO GET HIS DISHONORABLE BUTT ON A CIRCUIT COURT BENCH IN BURNETT COUNTY… APPEARS LIKE OUR LUSTROUS SCAMMER KNOWS HOW TO BILK THE PEOPLE WHILE PADDING HIS OWN NEST ALL THE WHILE!! WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT THIS CARPET BAGGER TURNED OUT TO BE.
Yes definately a conflict of intrest. I have not heard any more on the Walker investigation. Is that still in the works???We need government that does not lie, cheat, give our dollars to the rich. Walker is corruption.
There appear to be several John Doe’s investigating Gov. Walker. There is one in Madison, that’s about all we know it. The one that gets all the attention, Milwaukee County, remains, “active.”
If you do a search on Kelly Rindfleisch sentencing hearing it will lead you to a slide show from that was devastating to Gov. Walker. Rumors abound that Cynthia Archer is next.
