I have never heard of something like this.
Gov.-elect Scott Walker took the oath of office on Thursday, sworn in by Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen.
Walker will become governor at 12:01 a.m. Monday.
He took the oath early because the necessary papers must be filed with the secretary of state’s office, which is closed Friday.
In a one-on-one interview, Walker says he isn’t nervous about his upcoming term, but feels a sense of history as he prepares to become the top office-holder in the state.
