NYT: Scott Walker Sent Six Gov Employees to California to Meet with Koch, Wal-Mart Lobbyists

According to the , the lobbyists' meetings with government staff, “offers the ability to bring their particular expertise to the political process while helping to support the Republican agenda.”

Humorously, in 2011 Walker told someone he thought to be David Koch that it would be "outstanding" if "Koch" would reward him for his corporate agenda by flying him "out to Cali." (see below)

I guess, the real Koch made-good on the promise-- and even brought along most of Walker's staff!
