Just like Donald Trump, Tim Michels is in it to enrich himself

 

HeadlineMilwaukee Journal Sentinel, 10/11/2022
But if he gets to the governor's mansion he'll have to figure out how to untangle his interests from his family's construction business, which has received more than $1 billion from state road contracts and has ties to a pipeline project that is awaiting a key environmental study.
Michels, co-owner of Michels Corp., the state's largest construction company, has said he'll divest himself from the business but has not provided any details. 
Experts say his task won't be easy. 
State records show the Brownsville-based Michels Corp. has received more than $1.1 billion from Wisconsin for construction projects since 2014.

It's called pay to play, folks.  And in Michels' case, all 118 contributions were made to GOP/conservative candidates -- $27,500 of it in 5 donations to Scott Walker. 


Yup, he's a sleazebag.

According to Merriam-Webster, the first-known of sleazebag occurred in 1981,

  • connect-the-dots
  • lemon law
  • scuzzball
  • sleazeball
  • squooshy
  • uninstall
