More Rauner staff changes

* Hmm…
* One of the few stories on the Google where Hummel’s name appears with Gov. Walker…
When Gov. Scott Walker came to Lodi on Thursday, attorney Jeffrey Mayer was one of the chosen ones.
It was, by Walker’s count, the 11th listening session that he has held in communities around Wisconsin to seek ideas on Wisconsin’s direction in the next 20 years. It’s called 2020 Vision, and it was announced during Walker’s State of the State address Jan. 19.
But the 90-minute event was by invitation only; the general public and media were not allowed to attend. […]
Four Walker staff members were stationed outside the Lodi Common Council chambers during the session, and they did not allow a reporter to enter, or get closer to the doors than about 10 feet.
“This is the standard format,” said Brian Hummel, director of external operations for the governor. “Individuals coming to these meetings might not be comfortable speaking in front of the press.” […]
If someone wants to be invited to a session, he said, he or she may request an invitation by calling Press Secretary Laurel Patrick at 608-267-7303 — who also provides, on request, lists of invitees to all the sessions.
* Meanwhile, remember this?…
* Well…
From what I understand, however, Clark went on his own accord. He wasn’t moved.

On the bright side for Clarke, that crew at IHDA likes to hang out at the Goat.

“On Wisconsin”
Welp, if you’re going to have an new external affairs hire, he (or she) might as well be external from Illinois.

Was the General Counsel in today to finish out the month before leaving? Word is that his month ended last Friday.

Hopefully, Rauner will understand that he is governor of IL before he leaves office.
