todayFebruary 19, 2015

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The state Senate Health Committee has voted to approve Gov. Scott Walker’s appointment of the treasurer of his new political committee to the board overseeing the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics.  The committee voted 3-2 on Wednesday to approve the appointment of Andrew Hitt to the University of Wisconsin and Clinics Authority Board.  Hitt previously worked for Walker’s administration before taking a job in the private sector January working for a senior living services company. He also volunteers as treasurer for Our American Revival, a committee Walker created last month as he explores a presidential run.  Hitt says his role with the Walker committee is extremely limited and mainly “administrative paperwork.”  The vote to approve his appointment was on party lines, with all Republicans in support and Democrats against.
