Walker's staff charged with illegal fundraising
MILWAUKEE — Two women who were on Republican Gov. Scott Walker's staff when he was the Milwaukee County executive were charged Thursday with engaging in political fundraising while at work, becoming the fourth and fifth people with ties to Walker charged as part of a corruption investigation.
Kelly Rindfleisch, Walker's deputy chief of staff before he became governor in 2011, is charged with four felony counts of misconduct in office. Darlene Wink, who was Walker's county constituent services coordinator, faces two misdemeanor counts of political solicitation by a public employee.
The charges stem from a Milwaukee County District Attorney's office
During work hours, Rindfleisch exchanged more than 1,000 emails with Walker campaign officials from early February through early July 2010, averaging more than 10 per day, prosecutors contend.
Rindleisch's attorney, Franklyn Gimbel, said she plans to plead not guilty.

The governor denies wrongdoing and says he hasn't been contacted by prosecutors, but it comes at a politically sensitive time for him, as he is trying to stave off an effort to recall him. It is illegal for public workers, while engaged in their official duties, to raise funds or otherwise work on political campaigns or use their public workspaces to do so.
