Allegations of veterans' neglect test Walker teflon

Wisconsin GOP Gov. Scott Walker has, to date, escaped major political damage over abusive treatment of youthful offenders often sentenced from minority communities in SE Wisconsin and hidden away up north, but I think there will be greater reverberations from disclosures in a blockbuster story by the Capital Times today that veterans' medical needs at the King Home facility are being ignored by state officials even though the system is flush with federal funds.

Maybe Walker can send long-time friend and veterans' expert Tim Russell to King to straighten it all out.

More on this later.
