Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, says the head of Wisconsin’s elections agency “has to go.”

But Gov. Scott Walker says the issue isn’t on his radar.

Vos harshly criticized Kevin Kennedy, director and general counsel of the state Government Accountability Board, both on Tuesday at a luncheon in Madison and again Wednesday during an interview with the State Journal.

“I’m really disappointed in the way the GAB operates,” Vos said in the interview. “And my understanding is it goes back to Kevin Kennedy.”

Vos has been increasingly critical of the accountability board in recent months, and this week he began calling for its leader to be ousted.

“Kevin Kennedy has to go. He needs to be gone,” Vos said at a Wispolitics.com luncheon Tuesday. “He is an embarrassment, and I can’t say it any more emphatically than I am right now.”

Vos also repeated his vow that the GAB will not exist in its current form﻿ for much longer.
