MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Democrats are calling on Gov. Scott Walker to pay for travel costs for his security team incurred while running for president now that his campaign has ended.  Two Democratic state lawmakers on Wednesday called for Walker to repay state taxpayers for travel costs associated with security provided by the State Patrol when he was running for president in South Carolina, Iowa, New Hampshire and elsewhere across the country.  Walker’s campaign had promised to reimburse taxpayers for costs related to travel for his security team, but not their salaries.  A spokesman for the state Department of Administration says he was checking to see if the campaign had reimbursed the state.  Walker’s campaign ended Monday.
