Team Walker's attempt to change transparency laws may cause some uncomfortable questions as he prepares to launch his presidential campaign.

Just like Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton, old emails from the Scott Walker administration could potentially give him headaches, and it couldn't be at a more awkward time.

As Walker prepares to formally roll out his presidential campaign next week, his team is drawing criticism for refusing to release emails sent about his current budget proposal—even drawing a lawsuit from a liberal group.

And in a presidential cycle dominated by issues of transparency, he can expect tough questions about the issue.  

On Wednesday, The Cap Times reported Walker's team was involved in efforts to gut the state's open records law.

The effort, spearheaded by Republicans in the Wisconsin state legislature, drew massive outcry last week and was quickly scrapped.  

But critics from across the ideological spectrum say the state's open records law isn't totally out of the woods, and that the outcome of a lawsuit between Walker and his liberal opponents could still make the Badger State government less transparent.
