Scott Walker's secret $1.5 million donor

https://www.yahoo.com/politics/wisconsin-gov-scott-walker-photo-charlie-114429739886.html

John Menard jr. is widely known as the richest man in Wisconisin.

....So a little more than 3 years ago, when Menard wanted to back Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker---and help back his pro-business agenda---he found the perfect way to do so without attracting any attention: He wrote more that $1.5 milion dollars in checks to a pro-Walker political advocacy group that pledged to keep it's donors secret, three sources directly familiar with the transactions told Yahoo News.

Sneaky little bastard.

Mentioned during the so called recall of certain really bad Wisconsin officials,Johnny was one of the secret funders of the Rethug campaign to reelect these same smucks. BTW,Menard has been in court with the DNR because of his Wood Preservative Treating Plant's toxic discharge into lakes and creeks. And this is probably only just scratching the surface.
