Noteworthy events
John Doe investigations
Two John Doe investigations, beginning in 2010 and ending in 2015, were launched by Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm (D) into the activities of staff and associates of Gov. Scott Walker (R).[3] In 2005, Milwaukee County signed a lease with a private developer to house some county offices in Ruess Federal Plaza. The investigation expanded to look into the possibility that inside information was provided to some of the bidders. Two of Walker's close advisors, Hiller, his campaign treasurer, and Jim Villa, his former chief of staff, were connected to the developer from whom the county leased the office space. Ultimately, no one was ever charged with any wrongdoing related to the lease.[2][3]
