In picking a new register of deeds for Marinette County, Gov. Scott Walker picked a Republican campaign worker with no experience with land records and vital records.

The person who was passed over had 16 letters of recommendation.
Iowa Congressman Bruce Braley asked for a federal investigation of Walker's hiring practices. It's not likely to happen, but we can dream, can't we?
