Scott Walker renegs on new youth lock-up proposed by Scott Walker

Wisconsin GOP Gov. and inveterate denier of responsibility Scott Walker backed away from a plan to replace deeply troubled youth correctional facilities with a new facility proposed by Scott Walker after Scott Walker abruptly consolidated the existing facilities.

Walker said "they" wouldn't have time to put together the replacement Walker proposed which would have been included in Walker's next budget next year, though in a classic Big Government move, Walker did send in a new top bureaucrat to replace another bureaucrat at the Corrections Department because "putting someone like that in is the appropriate response, as opposed to going in for a photo op or something like that,” Walker said.

Walker knows this even though Walker admitted he was unaware of the serious problems at the facility in question until the troubles triggered a criminal investigation. 

Walker also admitted he had never visited the facility, and, in fact, had never visited any Wisconsin correctional facility as Governor.
