Two aides to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker during his time as Milwaukee County Executive have been charged with doing election work on the taxpayer dime:
Kelly Rindfleisch, deputy chief of staff to Walker in 2010, faces four felony counts of misconduct in office for working for then-Rep. Brett Davis' 2010 campaign for lieutenant governor while on the county clock. Davis, who lost in the Republican primary, is now Walker's state Medicaid director.[...]
Also facing two misdemeanors is Darlene Wink, Walker's one-time constituent services coordinator, who is accused of using county resources to raise money for Walker's 2010 gubernatorial bid. Wink, a former vice chair of the Milwaukee County Republican Party, resigned in May 2010 after admitting that she was spending part of her work day doing campaign work.
These are the latest results of an ongoing investigation of Walker staffers. Three weeks ago, another former Walker aide was charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor count of embezzlement.
A steady stream of criminal charges against former staffers is bad news for any elected official facing a recall election.
