Walker Goes Over $500,000 in Improperly-Reported Contributions
Madison - Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker has violated the state of Wisconsin's campaign finance laws 1,115 times since 2009 by failing to disclose information about contributors who donated more than $100. Walker's serial offenses include 456 contributions filed in the last 72 hours totaling nearly $284,000.
The total contributions in violation of Wisconsin statute 11.60(1) total $518,096. One Wisconsin Now previously filed a complaint with the Government Accountability Board in September when Walker's improperly-reported contribution tally was $235,000 half of what it has risen to in the last several days.
"Scott Walker has improperly reported well over $500,000 in contributions from inside and outside of Wisconsin," said Scot Ross, One Wisconsin Now Executive Director. "Scott Walker has absolutely no interest in following the campaign finance rules of the state of Wisconsin and we again call for state regulators to address his serial violation of our laws."

(27,985 posts)State Sen. Glenn Grothman has a solution: Change the law.
Grothman and eight Assembly Republicans are co-sponsors of Senate Bill 292:
This bill deletes the requirement to report the name and address of the principal place of employment, if any, of these contributors.
Just call Grothman Mr. Fixit.
