If SKW & Co. knew of the many emails exchanged over the secret mobile hot-spot, then why didn't they release any of those emails when asked in subsequent open records requests? Darlene Wink resigned on May 13, 2010 admitting to campaigning during the work day. Walker's "no more laptops" email was sent on May 14. On May 25, County supervisor John Weishan made an open records request to Walker's office, looking for evidence of campaigning "on any personal computers" in Walker's staffed office. His request was stalled until July, and ultimately he was charged more than $2,800 for a series of records that did not include records from the recent dump. We can now see that these email records should've been surrendered, but they weren't. There was deliberate evasion going on. Even if you accept the claim that Walker only learned of the "secret router" on May 13, they all should've complied correctly to the subsequent open records requests. Similarly, the email dump shows that Mark Neumann's campaign made a similar request on June 7, and these "secret router" emails were not surrendered.
