MILWAUKEE - The ongoing investigation into Governor Scott Walker's aides during his time as Milwaukee County Executive produces more charges.

Former Milwaukee County housing director Tim Russell was charged Thursday with one misdemeanor and two felony theft charges for taking more than 10 thousand dollars from a business.

Former Milwaukee County Veteran Service Commission member Kevin Kavanaugh was also charged with five felonies.

Walker appointed Kavanaugh to that commission.
