The cache of John Doe files published by The Guardian extends beyond the Walker recall election to the role of corporate money in legislating and litigating lead paint responsibilities - - a big deal in Wisconsin because of the widespread use of now-banned toxic lead paint in older Milwaukee homes.
The Journal Sentinel backs into the The Guardian's scoop - - a not uncommon follow-up tactic - - by focusing first on the lead paint element.
It was a 2005 Wisconsin Supreme Court ruling against lead paint manufacturers by then-Justice Louis Butler which helped trigger his eventual ballot box ouster by bib business forces which went on to swing the court to its current, 5-2 rihjt-wing majority that protects Walker and a shared corporate agenda.
I'd posted just yesterday an item about the court's intentional removal of conflict-of-interest rules meant to ensure judicial fair play, and a few days earlier a separate item - - "Walker and his toxic touch" - - but I never imagined there would such a quick and detailed account of just how toxic (think: lead) Walker's performance and the court direction and decline had actually been.
The Guardian files fill out the sickening growth of the corporate state and insider, dark money's influence in Wisconsin, noted earlier here when it comes to pollution tolerated.
Manure seems to be the operative Wisconsin term these days.
