Former Walker aide to enter plea to 2 misdemeanors

By ASSOCIATED PRESS   Tuesday, February 7, 2012 - 4:44 a.m.
ADVERTISEMENT

A staffer who worked for Gov. Scott Walker when Walker was the Milwaukee County executive is expected to plead guilty to charges of posting pro-Walker messages online on work time.

Darlene Wink of Cudahy is charged with two misdemeanor counts of political solicitation by a public employee. She's due to enter a plea Tuesday afternoon.

The charges carry a maximum combined penalty of one year in prison and a $2,000 fine.

Defense attorney Peter Wolff says his 61-year-old client has reached a tentative plea agreement with prosecutors. He says under the agreement she would plead guilty to both charges, and prosecutors would recommend only a fine. Wolff says negotiations might continue Tuesday morning.

Wink resigned in May 2010 after admitting to posting anonymous pro-Walker comments on websites and blogs.

If a member of anyone's staff is mis-using work time on the taxpayer's dime, shouldn't we all be outraged? I don't care who the individual is working for -- Doyle, Walker, etc. Isn't that the point?

SarahB1 - this should be a non-partisan item that all can agree on. When legislators are told to ignore their constituents and to sign legal documents that they will withhold information from their constituents allowing their constituents to believe the false information that the legislators have put out, those people are pretty much scum of the political earth and do not deserve to be in office. Why would anyone do that except to circumvent and destroy democracy? What they have done to bring shame on the Republican Party is beyond belief. But wait, as concernedwi said we will hear once more "Don't look over at our side, quick look over there!" This a crime cabal in Madison beyond my imagination and none of them deserve to be in office. They have brought shame on the Republican Party and on Wisconsin. What a dark stain on our once proud history, that we will have to clean up when this is over.

Since wislady and others like to switch subjects, maybe she wants to comment on this story. Basically legislators told to lie and made to sign legal documents that they would ignore their constituents. Republicans at their finest I suppose.....
.
“Lawmakers were made to pledge secrecy over redistricting
As legislative leaders secretly developed new election maps last year to strengthen their majority, Republican lawmakers were told to ignore public comments and instead focus on what was said in private strategy sessions, according to a GOP memo that became public Monday.
Other newly released documents also show almost all Republican lawmakers signed legal agreements promising not to discuss the new maps while they were being developed.”

The conspiracy that brought no personal gain, but rather personal hardships to the 14 people involved? The totally out in the open and all over the national news conspiracy?Great comparison! Walker's crew was stealing from veterans to take vacations, had a secret email system to keep their "business" out of the public eye and were looking out for themselves and their friends, not the people.

Wislady - the difference here is that Katherine Windels was just conducting UNION business and we know that the Dane County Dems are all paid off with UNION money.

Interesting....let's compare these cases and the outcomes.

Not Guilty Plea Made For Woman In Threat Case
Complaint Says Woman Threatened To Shoot Senators

Katherine Windels, 26, stood mute Thursday in Dane County Circuit Court. A court commissioner entered the pleas for her to two misdemeanor counts of making threats over a computer.

She has also been charged with two felony counts of making bomb threats.

A criminal complaint alleges Windels threatened to shoot the senators and plant bombs around their houses and the Capitol because of their votes in favor of a bill curtailing collective bargaining rights for most state employees.

Oh no, posting Pro-Walker messages. He should have just hung a huge banner at the Capitol and other signs on doors and windows.

Double standard and hyprocrisy rears it's ugly head once again.

donnaw both sides do it, that is no secret. The problem comes when enforcement of rules becomes lopsided for political a reason, that is just plain disgusting. Either enforce the rules or change them. Until then enforce them all, not just for some people.

Gee I am surprised RAF, you mean democrats working for the gov't actually send illegal emails on company time? Wow! I am totally surprised! But you know, union business takes priority over work rules.

Sadly the line between what is and not allowed seems to depend on what side of the political spectrum the employee is from as does the political perspective of those who make and enforce these rules.
