Yes, it was stinky of County Executive and courthouse cockroach enabler Scott Walker to take a jet trip — financed by a developer — to Florida to address the Transportation Development Association’s of Wisconsin’s annual convention and to raise money for his gubernatorial campaign. (Walker, after he was busted, said he would reimburse the developer.)

It’s also stinky for the TDA to hold its convention in Florida in the first place. After all, TDA members generally are road builders who make their money at the various Wisconsin local and state public troughs. For a Wisconsin lobbying group to take its Wisconsin-earned money to spend in Orlando is more than a bit tacky. It does suggest a new slogan, though: “Wisconsin road builders: destroying neighborhoods up north so we can afford to party down south.”
