(Newser) – Don’t you hate those overpaid public employees? Why, just look at Brian Deschane. He’s racked up two drunk driving convictions, has little experience, and no college degree, yet Scott Walker’s administration is paying him $81,500 a year, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports. How did he get the job? Well, it probably didn’t hurt that dad Jerry Deschane is a longtime lobbyist for the Wisconsin Builders Association, and that the group’s PAC was one of Walker’s top five campaign donors—ringing up $121,652 in donations.
But the elder Deschane says he’s sure that’s not why his son was hired. “He got the position himself,” he says. OK, he admits, he may have mentioned Brian to Walker’s chief of staff a few times. “I put in good words for every one of my children in their jobs,” he says. To be fair, the younger Deschane must be a great worker; in two months on the job he’s already earned a promotion and a 26% raise.
About 95% of union money goes to the Democrats. Is it any wonder why we see so many protections and giveaways for unions from this administration. Quit your crying.

I love how from the blurb.. the wingers ASSUME the person is unqualified because of no degree... and of course the carefully crafted words of the article writer from the winger source
Did we see the resume, the job history?? Do we see the skills or any report on how the interview went?? Nope... Just the author's word.. and that is all good enough for the asshole wingers like Zona and the OP
And of course... the comment by the opposition "It doesn't look like he's ever had a real job," the Madison Democrat said. must just seal the deal
Look... anyone knows connections help.. connections in family, politics, past work experiences, etc.. and there is sure as hell favoritism and favors to be had... who in here that actually has a career (and no, your fry salting is not a career, Zona) can say that they have not been helped by recommendations or reputation??
This is a yawner non-story
According to his résumé, Deschane, 27, attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison for two years, worked for two Republican lawmakers - then-Sens. David Zien and Cathy Stepp, now the natural resources secretary - and helped run a legislative and a losing congressional campaign. He held part-time posts with the Wisconsin Builders Association and the Wisconsin Business Council until being named to his first state gig earlier this year.
Deschane's father said that during the gubernatorial contest he might have reminded Keith Gilkes, Walker's campaign manager and now chief of staff, that his son "was out there and available."
"I put in good words for every one of my children in their jobs," said the elder Deschane. "But that would be the extent of it."
David Carlson, spokesman for the Department of Regulation and Licensing, confirmed that Gilkes recommended Deschane for an interview with the agency. Deschane's name does not appear on a list of job applicants with Walker's transition team, but the governor's office confirmed that Gilkes interviewed Deschane for a state job in December.

Or rather it's a non-story for you because it's a Republican and not say someone like President Obama.
He oversees environmental and regulatory matters and dozens of employees at the Department of Commerce. And yet what experience does he have? On top of the matter of his two DUI convictions.
Also, the same article you cited in your post has his resume history that you're asking for:

According to Walker, the state is supposedly broke but he can get a 26% pay increase after 2 months?
Instead of trying to say what people believe, why not actually go ahead and read the article next time?
Sure, non-story. The ass gets double what a teacher gets and has no qualifications.

And the worst of it is he's in for what he can rip off in four years and there is no recall provision in Wisconsin state law. They are stuck with him and he can do a lot of damage in four years.Walker is such a tool.
