Headline News: Scott Walker tries to run, but there's no place to hide



The headline is from Bloomberg Politics.  (5/25/2015)

And the tone of the program administration is set by the chair.
While private economic-development models often draw attacks, criticism of lax oversight is legitimate, said Donald Jakeway, former director of the Ohio Department of Development and the Michigan Economic Development Corp.

“If somebody’s not doing their job and they’re not making sure the programs are working appropriately, that’s not necessarily a fault with the program as it is with the administration of the program,” he said. “You still have a fiduciary responsibility to make those programs work.”
