Dennis Smith has resigned as Gov. Scott Walker’s health secretary shortly after more legal motions were filed in the case of Andew D. Spear, who is charged with the attempted murder of his wife Mary Spear, and who claimed she was having an affair with her old friend Dennis Smith.
Smith was appointed secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Health Services on Jan 3, 2011, and was instrumental in Walker’s efforts to oppose Obamacare.
Smith hired Mary Spear as his department’s chief legal counsel in January 2012 and has known her since they were in grade school in a small town in rural Illinois.
The details of the case were reported in my column back in September and you’ll find copies of the depositions below:
- Affidavit of Andrew D. Spear
- Notice of Motion and Motion to Compel Production of Phone, Text, and E-mail records
- Notice of Motion and Motion to Compel Production of Computer Hard Drives
- Motion for In-camera Inspection

Take the time to read the links they tell the whole story. Coincidental that he left his position after these motions were presented, I think not. I hope he has pulled his pants up as he is running out of Wisconsin.
