Supreme Court Declines to Hear Wisconsin John Doe Appeal

Statement of Jay Heck, Executive Director of Common Cause Wisconsin

While it is disappointing that the U.S. Supreme Court chose to ignore such clear conflicts for the Wisconsin justices, the issues behind the case are far from dead. Recent revelations about the 2011-2012 recall elections have raised troubling new questions about Governor Walker and those who engaged in possible illegal activity. The new information which has come to light merits a full investigation by the Dane County District Attorney.
