..."I feel like I've been fired and I don't know why," said Deininger, a former Republican lawmaker who was first appointed to the Government Accountability Board in 2008 by then-Gov. Jim Doyle, a Democrat...


George Dunst, the former lead attorney for the board who worked with Deininger before retiring in 2008, said Deininger may have been singled out because he was chairman during the recall.

"This looks to me like it's targeting Deininger and trying to send a message to the board that you need to be more cognizant of partisan considerations," Dunst said.

Kevin Kennedy, director of the board, said he asked Walker's office why Deininger's nomination was withdrawn and also wasn't given an answer. Kennedy said he wasn't aware of anyone complaining about how Deininger ran the board.

1. The GAB already stinks. Kennedy lobbied for use of Diebold voting machines, then outsourced ....

... part of the running of our elections to Accenture, for crying out loud.

Don't remember Accenture? Does Arthur Anderson ring a bell? Enron?

2. why isn't Walker sitting in a jail cell?

3. "wasn't given an answer"-->there is NEVER an answer from the Gov's office so don't expect one...n/t
