The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports:
Two staffers who worked directly for Gov. Scott Walker while he was county executive were charged Thursday with illegally doing extensive political work while being paid by taxpayers to do county jobs.
Kelly Rindfleisch, deputy chief of staff to Walker in 2010, faces four felony counts of misconduct in office for working for then-Rep. Brett Davis’ 2010 campaign for lieutenant governor while on the county clock. Davis, who lost in the Republican primary, is now Walker’s state Medicaid director.
…Also facing two misdemeanor counts is Darlene Wink, Walker’s one-time constituent services coordinator, who is accused of using county resources to raise money for Walker’s 2010 gubernatorial bid. Wink, a former vice chair of the Milwaukee County Republican Party, resigned in May 2010 after admitting to the Journal Sentinel that she was spending part of her work day doing campaign work.
