Gov. Scott Walker says whether applicants for state jobs should be required to check a box indicating whether they’ve been convicted of a crime is a negotiable issue.

The full extent of the deficit may not be revealed until the campaign files its next report with the Federal Election Commission in January.
Walker has said he will pay the rest when it’s billed.
Both sons were frequently by Walker’s side before he abruptly dropped out of the race on September 21.
Walker paid his campaign manager Rick Wiley almost $52,000 for three months of work, which equates to about $208,000 a year. In the same quarter, Walker’s campaign spent $6.3 million. The FEC filing was the first containing hard numbers that the Walker campaign had to make because of his late formal entry into the race on July 13.
Walker raised $7.4 million in the most recent reporting period, which is more than other Republican candidates who have stayed in the race, including businesswoman Carly Fiorina, who raised $6.8 million; Florida Sen.
A spokesman says both sons worked part-time at Walker’s campaign headquarters in Madison, until they went back to school after the summer. Walker raised half as much as former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and a third as much as retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson. The campaign paid more than $126,000 to one firm alone, D.C.-based Harbinger LLC, to provide “event production consulting”.
The campaign also spent more than $1.1 million for mail pieces sent directly to potential donors or voters.
“While the outcome is obviously not what we had hoped for, the fact that 92 percent of the contributions Governor Walker received were for $100 or less reflects strong grassroots support for his vision of taking the power out of Washington and returning it to the people”, Evenson said.

Walker has said he will pay the rest when it’s billed. Given that Walker’s campaign lasted just 70 days – from July 13 to September 21 – that means each day cost more than $90,000.
