That claim of $7.5 million worth of damage to WI capitol? It was calculated on 1 sheet of notebook paper

Remember the “Tale of the Dueling Wisconsin Capitol “Damage” Costs”?

State says damage to marble at Capitol could hit $7.5 million v. DOA now estimate Capitol damage as low as $350,000

Now TPM has one more headline to add to that: Walker Admin.’s Claim Of Multi-Million Dollar Capitol Damage Calculated On…Single Sheet Of Notebook Paper

Oh my. And that notebook paper is right up there for you to see, at the top of this post.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has unearthed the source of Gov. Scott Walker’s (R-WI) administration’s claim, made in court, that alleged damage to the State Capitol from the massive protests against the new anti-union law would cost $7.5 million to repair. It’s a single sheet of notebook paper, prepared by state architect Dan Stephans on the same day the claim was made in court. [...]

Now, through open-records requests, the Journal Sentinel has obtained the single sheet of notebook paper that was apparently the basis for the request.

Scotty the WonderWank better be looking over his shoulder, and when he does, he may notice Mr. Recall is only a few steps behind him now.
