DOA Brass Circles the Wagons While Doyle & Wineke Whistle Past the Graveyard

Scandal is in the air, and this time it’s not five years old.

No, this scandal is ripening on the vine every day, as the DOA Secretary’s office employs every stall tactic in the book to avoid fulfilling dozens of open records requests filed by members of the press and the Republican Party of Wisconsin. Now the Office of the Secretary is calling “come to Jesus” meetings in an attempt to plug the leaks.

Good luck. When you fire hundreds of state employees and replace them with expensive consulting firms, who write huge checks to the Governor’s campaign and then fail to get the job done, you should expect the place to be leaking like a sieve.

Looks like the Doyle Administration’s A.C.E initiative really stands for Access, Corruption and Extortion rather than Accountability, Consolidation and Efficiency.

More will be revealed.

In the meantime, Jim Doyle and Joe Wineke whistled past the graveyard this weekend.
