MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A state appeals court says one of Gov. Scott Walker’s former aides was properly convicted of campaigning on taxpayers’ time. Kelly Rindfleisch served as Walker’s deputy chief of staff while he was Milwaukee County executive. She pleaded guilty in October 2012 to one felony count of misconduct in office after prosecutors accused her of working on Walker’s gubernatorial campaign and Republican Brett Davis’ lieutenant governor campaign out of her county office. She argued on appeal that a judge should have suppressed evidence gleaned from her email, saying searching her messages violated her constitutional rights. The 1st District Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 Wednesday that prosecutors had probable cause to search her emails. Rindfleisch’s attorney says he plans to ask the state Supreme Court to take the case.
