Walker Says He’ll Meet With Republican Legislative Leaders To Discuss Agenda

Gov. Scott Walker said on Thursday that he plans to meet with leading Republican state lawmakers about their plans for the next legislative session in Madison.

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said this week that he wants to change the John Doe investigation process and how decisions are made at the agency that oversees elections. Walker said he didn’t have a chance to discuss those topics with lawmakers during the fall campaign.

“If they’re going to propose a change, obviously then one of the key questions is, what’s the alternative?” said Walker. “We’d want to know what that would be. But that’s not anything I’ve talked about … Certainly I’m sure that will be on our list of things when we meet with them shortly.”

Walker said his agenda will overwhelmingly be about job creation and worker training.

Some Democrats say changing the John Doe process or the Government Accountability Board could weaken efforts to limit corruption.
