Wisconsin Democrats: Another Walker non-answer on Lincoln Hills raises a significant question

[TexasTowelie]

MADISON — On Tuesday, Gov. Scott Walker’s clumsy cover-up of his neglect of the crisis at Lincoln Hills grew even more flimsy as he struggled to answer a basic question about its closure.

The following is an exchange between Walker and WSAW:

WSAW Reporter: “Why did it take so long to have your office do anything with regards to Lincoln Hills and the overcrowding. I was told by your office that you’ve been working on it for a little over a year, but you also found out about this six years ago.”

Walker: “Well, the changes have been made by the Department of Corrections consistently over the last several years. We take safety and security — so what was announced this past week wasn’t the first step; it’s one of many steps.” (sic)

Walker’s evasive non-answer leaves the public wondering about the “many steps” Walker suddenly claims to have taken to address this crisis because he has done nothing to substantiate his claim that the plan to close Lincoln Hills has been in the works for over a year.

This leads to a natural question: If there were many steps being taken before, why Walker’s sudden interest in finally addressing this situation?
