MADISON — A 27-year-old son of a lobbyist whose appointment to an $81,500 job in Gov. Scott Walker’s administration drew accusations of cronyism has resigned.
Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie confirmed Thursday that Brian Deschane resigned Wednesday.
That is the day after Walker demoted him from his higher paying job back to the post he was originally appointed to that pays $65,000 a year with the Department of Regulation and Licensing.

Scott Dillman, head organizer of the committee to recall Sen.

If the board finds at least 15,269 signatures are valid, officials would call a recall election six weeks from the date of certification.
