When Walker took office, after he promised with much pomp and populism during his campaign that he'd rein in those high state employee salaries, the price of oil was tanking. 

What did he do? He hired appointees at higher salaries than people they replaced WHILE he told the public we all had to chip in and take cuts.

Meanwhile, OMB dir Pitney got to pocket $20,000 more than her predecessor. Grace Jang, who peppered KTUU newscasts with one scandalous Nat. Guard story after another and drove the anti-Parnell brigade of reporters day after day, was brought onboard before the ink on the official election results were even dry, at a higher salary than her predecessor. 

Walker leg director also got hired at a higher salary than his predecessor. So did his deputy chief of staff, who in recent months was found to have violated APOC laws when she collected money for Walker's campaign. She still pockets more than her predecessor. On and on it goes.

 Walker lied then and continues to lie now.
