For anyone interested in Wisconsin politics during the Walker Era, this book is a must read. Ed Wall tells how he came to Wisconsin to be with his wifeโs family and continue his career in law enforcement, where he rose to become the respected leader of the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation.
Although he had no political connections or affiliations, Wall was chosen by Democrat Governor Jim Doyle to head the state Division of Emergency Management and was then chosen by Republican Governor Scott Walker to lead the stateโs largest cabinet agency, the Department of Corrections. It was there, in Walkerโs cabinet, where Wall saw, up close and personal, the self-serving, unethical actions of Walker and Attorney General Brad Schimel.
Along the way, youโll find out fascinating inside details about the Act 10 protests, the John Doe investigations, Walkerโs obsession with avoiding public records, his failed presidential bid, and Schimelโs bungling of the Lincoln Hills investigation. This is a revealing and harrowing account of life at the highest levels of the Walker administration and the difficult, life-altering lessons learned along the way.
โThis book is full of interesting insights that only insiders would know. The reader learns how the government works and doesnโt work. It breaks down mostly by misfeasance not malfeasance.โ
– Bill Kraus, former Chief of Staff to Republican Governor Lee Dreyfus
โA touching, insightful story for those who wonder how Wisconsinโs reputation for clean, honest, and professional government slipped away.โ
– Dale Schultz, former Republican State Senate ย Majority Leader
