Exxon Tiger Rips Doyle Campaign's Excess Profits

Madison - The Exxon Tiger today ripped Governor Jim Doyle's campaign, accusing him of gouging campaign contributors seeking state contracts. "Doyle makes obscene profits on the backs of average taxpayers, who have to pay for more expensive state contracts when a big donor writes a check," said the Tiger.

According to Wisconsin Elections Board records, Doyle raised a total of $1.2 million from contributors between July 1 and December 31st of 2005, while spending only $421,000 to raise that money. Doyle's $800,000 profit amounts to a 200% profit over those six months. For calendar year 2005, the profit is even more stunning. Records show that Doyle raised $2.6 million, while spending $654,000 to raise those funds for a total profit of 300% in 2005.
