Assuring Contributions for the Election Initiative (ACE)

In an earlier post, I called the Doyle Administration's ACE imitative "Access, Corruption and Extortion." A reader provided the title for this post after recent MSM coverage of campaign contributions from two more out of state firms who received lucrative contracts with the State of Wisconsin. These revelations appeared here on March 19th.

Governor Doyle’s comments regarding the Equis contract amendment which provides a 25% commission on the sale of state property, along with the lack of information provided by DOA on Equis’ role in the Sanger Powers Correctional Facility tells me there is more to both parts of this story.

I also believe the title of this post will prove to be right on the money. We need to take a closer look at how many of these same companies have paid to play in other Blue states in recent years.

It's good to be back, but it was better to be on vacation.

Here's a link to a report that was released by the National Association of State CIO's (NACIO)that encourages states to implement money saving programs like ACE.

The ACE program is actually listed as an example.

Maybe the NACIO is part of a vast conspiracy to re-elect Gov. Doyle -- or more likey Deb Jordahl is a political hack who will say anything to make sure her side wins.

I was pretty sure it was one of those.
