Criminal Probe Closes In as FBI Raids the Home of Gov Scott Walker’s Top Aide

Criminal Probe Closes In as FBI Raids the Home of Gov Scott Walker’s Top Aide: "Hauling a banker’s box among other times out of her home, about a dozen law enforcement officers including the Milwaukee FBI raided Cindy Archer’s Madison home yesterday, after arriving with a battering ram in the early hours of the morning. The FBI is investigating allegations that staffers of Walker’s worked on his campaign on the county dime while he was running for governor.

Gov. Walker's Election Day Surprise?

Gov. Walker's Election Day Surprise? "Right now the people of Wisconsin are headed to the polls in six state Senate districts to reject Gov. Walker’s extreme agenda and his unprecedented assault on Wisconsin’s working, middle-class families.

But it seems that Gov. Walker may have an Election Day surprise for Wisconsin voters that he hopes will allow Republicans to hold onto power regardless of the outcome of today’s historic recall elections.

Gov. Walker made a deliberate decision to have redistricting be decided on Election Day when he called the legislative Republicans’ plan up on August 4th. Thanks his own decision, Gov. Walker now has until the end of the day to sign or to veto his party’s divisive and partisan redistricting maps that would crush our democracy and attempt to monopolize power on all levels of state government so the Republicans can avoid accountability for the next decade...."
