Gov. Scott Walker and the GOP-controlled Legislature approved a measure aimed at retroactively shielding paint makers from liability after a billionaire owner of a lead producer contributed $750,000 to a political group that provided crucial support to Walker and Republicans in recall elections, according to a report released Wednesday.

Citing leaked documents gathered during a now-shuttered investigation into the governor's campaign, the Guardian U.S., an arm of the British newspaper, reported that Harold Simmons, owner of NL Industries, a producer of the lead formerly used in paint, made three donations totaling $750,000 to the Wisconsin Club for Growth between April 2011 and January 2012.

Simmons' donations were made before and after Republicans approved two laws helpful to the industry — one in January 2011 and the other in June 2013. The 2013 measure was inserted in a budget bill in the middle of the night despite warnings about its constitutionality.

Doesn't lead poisoning only affect people who are already really stupid, so you can't tell the difference, anyway?

If we don't help penalize these job creators they'll just raise the cost of poisoning our kids. The #orangedouchebag will give them enough tax breaks to keep kid- poisoning jobs here in America. WE CAN KEEP MANUFACTURING POISONED KIDS IN MICHIGAN!! Make poison great again!!
