AFSCME Council 24 was made aware on Wednesday afternoon, 1/19, that a phony article appeared in the world of cyberspace. The article reported that Walker appointed Scott Jensen to begin to dismantle and raid the State pension system.
The verbiage in the release was extraordinarily similar to previous statements of Walker and his administration. In fact too be candid some initially thought that the release was legitimate. That is not the case. This release is not a real press release. It was concocted and made up, in spite of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel byline.
Charlie Sykes and WTMJ radio have issued a story that this was all a hoax perpetrated by the teachers union. (http://www.620wtmj.com/shows/charliesykes/114195214.html)
Please distribute this information to your members. This is not a legitimate story. We have spoken today with Dave Stella, Secretary of Employee Trust Funds. He also affirmed that the release was a hoax and that there was absolutely no substance to its content.
Authority: Marty Beil, Executive Director
AFSCME Council 24 AFL-CIO
