WI gov pays $81.5K salary to loser son of crony

With no college degree and two DUIs under his belt, Brian Deschane just landed an $81,500-per-year job in Koch whore Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s administration. The 27-year-old has little work experience, yet will be in charge of environmental and regulatory matters and dozens of employees at the Department of Commerce.

Deschane also happens to be the son of Jerry Deschane, executive vice president and lobbyist for the Wisconsin Builders Association, which is one of the top five political action committee donors to Koch whore Walker’s campaign and which managed to funnel more than $121,000 in donations to Walker. Dad says Brian Deschane’s a “bright young man” who got the job himself, even though Dad puts in “good words for every one of my children in their jobs.” Must be nice.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports:

State Rep. Brett Hulsey called Deschane's appointment another case of the new administration using state jobs to repay various industries. Hulsey said he was unimpressed with the younger Deschane's résumé, including his lack of environmental or management experience.

"It doesn't look like he's ever had a real job," the Madison Democrat said.

Hulsey noted that the recently approved law that made collective bargaining changes converts 37 top agency attorneys, communications officials and legislative liaisons from civil service positions to jobs appointed by the governor.

"This is an example of the quality of candidates you're going to get"

To recap: hardworking public employees are stripped of their collective bargaining rights to supposedly save money for the state, which turns around and gives a high-paying job to the son of a crony with no college degree, no experience and a history of bad behavior.

Charming.
