To Six Sigma or not? that is the question; Walker decides to dance to CRG tune again

In mid-May, I wrote a piece about Milwaukee County Exec Scott Walker's relationship with Citizens for Responsible Government (CRG), the group that spearheaded the Tom Ament recall effort and helped put Walker into office. I suggested Walker danced to CRG's tune because he owed them big-time.

That brought a sharp response from Chris Kliesmet, one of the prime movers at CRG. Walker, he insisted, was not in their hip pocket. Quoting Kliesmet:

"Perhaps I should publish a list of all the things Walker HAS NOT done at our request. How about his not implementing Six Sigma at the county level after we gift wrapped free consulting and training from local business and academia. Of course, I do not expect liberals to even know what Six Sigma is. Better head to Google boys and girls. Oh, and when you get there add "City of Fort Wayne" to your search terms to discover how they used Six Sigma to save millions and create huge improvements in service quality."

Here's that item.

The list of things Walker HAS NOT done for CRG has just gotten shorter. As we read today in Spivak & Bice in the Journal Sentinel, Walker has opened that gift-wrapped package of free consulting and training to implement Six Sigma for county government. And, the Spice Boys suggest, if it works here Kliesmet has visions of taking it on the road for big bucks -- and with a glowing endorsement letter, no doubt, from Mr. Walker.

UPDATE: CRG responds with a rebuttal that even includes artwork of S&B with dunce and jester hats.
