(AP) -New records show Gov. Scott Walker has repaid the state of Wisconsin what is billed so far for travel costs incurred by his taxpayer-funded security detail during his presidential run.Walker's campaign paid $67,300 on Nov. 23. That covers the last of $125,100 the Republican governor had promised to reimburse taxpayers for travel costs of his security detail while he prepared to run for president.
But the state has yet to bill Walker for travel costs in the third quarter. That period covers his now-ended presidential campaign. In April, Walker's political committee pledged to pick up the costs for airfare, hotel and meals for his security team when it travels with him to political events. Walker's political operations earlier paid $58,000 to the state.
