Is it a tradition for public servants to be indicted in Lake Geneva?

We had a teacher resign mid-year for using his work laptop to view gay porn. That was really about as sordid as things ever got. We mostly just topped out at light bumbling.

Can you be indicted in WI for light bumbling?

Didn't she had to have an air shift on WFYR back in the day?

The continued existence of Scott Walker says no.

You're persistent and consistent, I'll give you that.

So turning UW-Madison into a trade school is light bumbling north of the IL border?

There is a traffic jam about to build on N/B 294 and I-90.

Oh, I was referring to the whole campaign donation thing he was being investigated for.

....was being investigated for?

What happened?

This thing actually was out there for about 2 years prior to the indictment. It was a shady deal from the beginning. She worked for Supes and resigned from the company prior to being named CEO. Shortly after becoming CEO, the 20 million dollar contract was steered towards Supes.

I really believe that Rahm had the Feds hold off on the indictment until shortly after the election. If you look at the timing of it all, she was indicted less than a month after his re-election. It was a murky deal from the very beginning, yet no one ever made it an issue during the election.

At least she did it for a good cause.



Even before she was hired to run Chicago Public Schools, Barbara Byrd-Bennett set up a scheme to get a 10 percent kickback on all the CPS contracts she could steer to a former employer, in part to set up a college fund for her twin grandsons, authorities said Thursday.

The feds found damning, detailed emails between her and her ex-boss, Gary Solomon — apparently so damning that Byrd-Bennett will plead guilty in the case involving $23 million in CPS contracts. U.S. Attorney Zachary Fardon, in an unusual move, announced Byrd-Bennett’s intention to plead as he announced the charges.

“I have tuition to pay and casinos to visit ” the feds say Byrd-Bennett wrote in one of many emails discussing the alleged kickbacks.
