4th ex-Walker official bolts, highlighting 5 Walker self-inflicted wounds

Former WEDC CEO Paul Jadin becomes the 4th top Walker official to jump ship.

Their join letter released today is pretty damaging: 

"Governor Walker has consistently eschewed sound management practices in favor of schemes or coverup and has routinely put his future ahead of the state." the letter states. "The result is micromanagement, manipulation and mischief. We have all been witness to more than our share of this."
Without getting too far ahead of ourselves, it's fair to say that five of Walker's self-defeating behaviors, statements and tendencies are catching up to him:

* His failed 250,000 jobs promise.

* Which led directly to his unpopular, excrescently-expensive Foxconn Hail Mary.

* His failed, wasteful run for President, highlighting his disinterest in serving the people while underscoring a fundamental absence of preparation which threw into doubt his qualifications to lead any large enterprise.

* And that presidential run was despite his 2014  statement about intending to serve out his second term, thus elevating established questions about his truthfulness. 

*  Which served to reinforce or presaged his multiple evasions or flat-out lies, ranging from having turned the Milwaukee County Executive's office into an arm of his 2012 campaign to having received secret donations from a group supporting his 2012 recall campaign to finally admitting to having rewriting the Wisconsin Idea in the budget - - despite denials.
