Walker Aides Face New Charges 
------------------------------



Two former aides to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker are facing charges they
participated in political fundraising on public time. The aides worked
for Walker when he was Milwaukee County executive. An investigation
found that Walker’s office used a private email network to communicate
campaign-related material in 2010. Another former Walker employee was
recently charged with embezzling thousands of dollars from a fund for
the families of U.S. soldiers. Walker is facing a potential recall
following his attempts to slash the rights of public sector unions.
