Jamyi Witch hiring controversy
In 2001–2002 several Republican state representatives in Wisconsin objected to the hiring of Jamyi Witch, a Wiccan, as a prison chaplain.〔(Simon, Stephanie. "Wiccan Chaplain Brews Storm: Religion: Some taxpayers want the Rev. Jamyi Witch removed from her state job counseling prisoners." ''Los Angeles Times'' January 7, 2002 )〕
The objection to the hiring was led by Michael Huebsch and later joined by Scott Walker (who became Governor of Wisconsin in 2011).
==Genesis of issue==
In December 2001, Mike Huebsch began leading efforts to block the funding for Witch's $32,500-a-year position. He stated taxpayers "shouldn't be forced to accept this hocus-pocus." 〔 〕 The legislators had learned that Wisconsin Department of Corrections had recently hired Rev. Jamyi Witch as a prison chaplain at the Waupun Correctional Institution in Waupun, Wisconsin. Witch, who had volunteered for two years as a chaplain and had an extensive knowledge of alternative religions, had competed against nine other candidates for the civil service position and was hired as the most qualified candidate for the $32,500 per year job.〔Toosi, Nahal, "(Wiccan Rev. Witch raises some brows at Wisconsin prison )", ''Seattle Times'', December 9, 2001.〕
The chaplain was a practicing Wiccan and had, in fact, changed her last name to Witch in honor of her chosen religion.〔
