I guess Gov. Scott Walker is in the business of rewarding failure, as he has reappointed Reed Hall as CEO of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC) despite the abject failure of WEDC to create jobs as promised by Gov. Walker.
Gov. Scott Walker is keeping Reed Hall as the head of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp., as the agency faces a series of top-level departures.
Hall had been expected to leave the state’s flagship job-creation agency, multiple Republican sources told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in November. Since then, the economic development corporation has disclosed it will soon lose its chief financial officer — its fourth one in 31/2 years.
In an email to staff this week, Hall wrote that Walker had reappointed him as chief executive officer.
“I guess Gov. Scott Walker is in the business of rewarding failure,”
Well played.
Shouldn’t the buck be stopping somewhere else other than with the second in command? What about the Chairman of the Board? No responsibility seems to be assigned to the proper individual here by the Journal Sentinel.
