Things that make you go Hmmmm

Jessica McBride reports:

Al Zobel, news director for WKOW TV in Madison, revealed on my radio program tonight that federal authorities investigating the Travelgate scandal have subpoenaed the television station's interviews with not only Georgia Thompson, but also with Gina Frank-Reece.

WKOW is the station that broke the Travelgate story. Frank-Reece is the deputy secretary of administration. She stood directly under Doyle political appointee Marc Marotta.

WKOW TV has reported previously of Frank-Reece:
UW-Madison employees were part of the contract evaluation team, and e-mails obtained by 27 News have showed they complained about the contract process last March. E-mails have also showed a top UW-System official was directed to complain to DOA management. On two different occasions, UW-System spokesman Doug Bradley has told 27 News that complaint was made to DOA's number two person, Deputy Secretary Gina Frank-Reece.

"Somebody made the statement that somebody might have, from (UW) System, might have talked to my Deputy," said Bablitch. "She has absolutely zero recall of that." Last November, in a 27 News interview, Frank-Reece categorically denied ever being contacted by a UW-System official about contract problems.

So, although Georgia Thompson is not a Doyle Appointee, Gina Frank-Reece is; and, according to WKOW in Madison, the feds are interested in what she had to say to the station's reporters.

Wonder if it's the same Regina Frank-Reece, who is a major donor to Jim Doyle's campaign.

Hmmmm.....
