Mark Block, Herman Cain's Chief of Staff/CEO is Internet famous today thanks to this fantastic campaign ad. But this isn't Mark Block's first time around the block. His career in politics has had some interesting peaks and valleys most notably being banned from working in WI state campaigns as staff or a consultant for three years.
Via Wisconsin Democracy Campaign:
Block instigated a scheme to illegally funnel money into the 1997 reelection campaign of former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Jon Wilcox from wealthy, out-of-state backers of Milwaukee’s school voucher program. Block, who was Wilcox’s campaign manager, was later fined $15,000 and banned from consulting and working for state campaigns until 2004.For more on this colorful incident in Block's political career be sure to check out these posts from Wisconsin bloggers: Illusory Tenant and Xoff.
