Gov. Walker wants his PAC treasurer on UW Hospital board

MADISON - Gov. Scott Walker wants the treasurer of his new political committee to serve on the board that oversees the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics even though Democrats say the appointment is inappropriate.

The Senate Health Committee is scheduled to vote Wednesday on Andrew Hitt's appointment to the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics Authority Board. He previously served on the board for about a year before leaving in December.

Hitt is treasurer for Our American Revival, a tax-exempt committee Walker created last month that can raise unlimited amounts of money as he considers a run for president.
