Governor Scott Walker (R-Wisconsin) has moved quickly to fix the upcoming recall against Sen. Dave Hansen (D-Green Bay). The Register of Deeds position in Marinette County was open, and Governor Walker has appointed Renee Miller to the post.
Get ready for Waukesha County, the Sequel
Renee Miller is the wife of Paul Miller who is the Treasurer for Rep. John Nygren (R-Marinette). Renee Miller has no relevant qualifications for the Job of Register of Deeds, other than being a long time Republican activist, and the wife of Paul Miller, John Nygren's Campaign Treasurer. Here is a complete write up regarding this appointment from the Milwaukee-Journal Sentinel.

It gets worse however. The Committee to Recall Dave Hansen has announced it will soon submit (they claim today) the petitions necessary to recall Sen. Dave Hansen (D-Green Bay) whose district includes Marinette. The Republicans mentioned as possible nominees to run against Dave Hansen thus far include are Brown County Vice-Chair Mary Scray and yes, Rep. John Nygren (R-Marinette).
So Scott Walker may have just appointed a former Nygren campaign worker as Register of Deeds in a key county where Rep. John Nygren (R-Marinette) appears ready to run against Dave Hansen in the recall.
I guess the message Scott Walker received from the Prosser - Kloppenburg Supreme Court election from Waukesha County is extreme partisan cronyism works!
