The son of a Wisconsin lobbyist [Jerry Deschane] whose firm heavily donated to Gov. Scott Walker (R) has unexpectedly quit his appointed post just days after media reports criticized the governor for picking him over candidates far more qualified for the lavishly paid state job.[...]
His qualifications: dropping out of college, working for a few Republicans, working for a lobbyist shop and getting busted a couple times for DUI. Other candidates for the job, who sported much weightier qualifications, were not even interviewed.
[...]
Walker had previously called Deschane's son a "natural fit" for the job, but the Sentinel noted that after its initial report that Walker's administration claimed it had only just heard of their staffing agency's decision.
[...]
Brian Deschane, 27, was initially given a job that earned $64,728-a-year, but within two months was bumped up to a position that earned over $81,000. He was demoted earlier this week, after Gov. Walker came under heavy rhetorical fire in the media for the hire.
So he quit. And don’t expect any donations from him, Walker.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
