We Ard-ly knew yee. [View all]

rumors are circulating that Lt Gov Ard might be t-Ard-y for work soon.

A little background on his legal troubles:

The women, Cindy McAllister and her daughter, Kristen Mayer both gave $3,500 a piece, according to Lt. Gov. Ard's ethics forms. The pair lists an address at Mallard Rd., but the contact information on the ethics form doesn't check out.

A man by the name of Bryan McAllister lives at that address. MCallister says neither woman has lived there in years. Bryan said he has been divorced from Cindy for at least 4 years.

Bryan told WIS he's never met the lieutenant governor and never gave money to his campaign. He also doesn't know his ex-wife's connection to Lt. Gov. Ard, or that she was ever that interested in politics. He wonders how Cindy or Mayer could afford to hand the lieutenant governor $7,000 considering their financial situations, "I don't see how, but then, you know, that's none of my business," Bryan continued, "But still, I don't see how."
