http://www.politiscoop.com/us-politics/wisconsin-politics/735-as-criminal-corruption-probe-expands-scott-walker-flees-to-chicago.htmlMADISON-As he continues to avoid questions about his connection to a growing criminal corruption probe, Scott Walker on Monday was scheduled to shake down corporate cash at a $5,000-per-table fundraiser in Chicago, conveniently home to one of Walker's pricey criminal defense lawyers.
Walker frequently lambastes Illinois and Chicago, but the criminal investigation swirling around his current and former aides and supporters bears more of a resemblance to the experience of recent governors there than in Wisconsin. To get a table at Walker's Chicago event today, interested fat cat fans were instructed to call a Texas number.

Recall or indictment, whichever comes first is fine by me.

Didn't the Mayor of St Paul have a deal with gangsters in the 20s and 30s
to protect them as long as they kept their noses clean in St Paul?
Its probably a lot like that.
