The Democratic Party of Wisconsin has filed
an ethics complaint against Gov. Scott Walker for statements made
during a recorded prank phone call.


      The complaint that's been filed with the Government
Accountability Board claims Walker violated ethics regulations,
including those prohibiting use of state offices for political
purposes.


      Monday's complaint says Walker's statements asking campaign
contributors for support constituted "illegal third-party
coordination" in violation of campaign finance regulations.


      Walker made the statements during a call with a blogger posing
as David Koch, a Walker campaign contributor.


      Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie says the allegations are
baseless.


      Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne said last week that
he'd found nothing about Walker's statements to merit a criminal
investigation. Ozanne said he hadn't looked into allegations of
campaign finance violations.
