Donor's Son Resigns From Walker Administration

Brian Deschane has decided to resign altogether rather than accept a demotion to the $64,728-per-year job he started out in, sources tell the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The resignation comes after a minor uproar over the 27-year-old, who has no college degree, little experience, and two drunken driving convictions—yet landed a swift promotion to an $81,500 management job in the Walker administration. His father is a lobbyist for a state builders' group that made a big donation to Walker's campaign. Click to catch up on previous stories about the flap. (More Brian Deschane stories.)
