Gov. Walker is under investigations for grossly overstating the support he was getting from citizens of Wisconsin through emails.
On February 17th his numbers were way off in a press conference:
After those misleading statements the governor was ordered to release the emails and pay $7000 for legal fees in a settlement with the Wisconsin Associated Press and Isthmus (a local WI publication).
Since sorting through the evidence, AP is now reporting that Walker had no business telling the press that "the majority" was in support of his labor-busting bill--sometimes emails were even pouring into his inbox at a rate of 5 -1 in opposition.
