MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Ryan Murray, the second in command at Governor Scott Walker’s job-creation agency, is resigning. Murray announced his resignation on Friday, just three days after Walker won re-election to a second term. Murray is the first high-level Walker administration official to resign after the election. Murray was policy director for Walker’s first gubernatorial campaign in 2010 and rose to be his deputy chief of staff before taking the Number 2 position at the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation in July 2012. Murray says he is leaving at the end of the month for an unspecified private sector job. Murray’s competency was called into question by WEDC vice president Lee Swindall, who resigned following disagreements with Murray in August then rejoined the agency two days later.
