Nope, the main official audit, which was the most damning, was done by the State of Wisconsin Legislative Audit Bureau, the state's anti-corruption and anti-waste agency, which is nonpartisan and run by professional accounts with outside auditing, created in the 60s to prevent state audits from being politically influenced.

Perhaps even more telling from the "we can't afford to pay teachers" governor was the fact that in the dozens of cases in which Walker was breaking the law, almost all involved spending too much money on projects, losing track of money, not asking businesses Walker was connected to to bother paying back loans, etc. Essentially, it was a slush fund for Walker to steal money from the state, and that's what the third party nonpartisan audit found.

You would think that fucking extreme corruption would be a national issue, but the press doesn't want to seem like it's doing any muckraking against Republicans, so it's not widely covered in the national news.
