Scope of Doyle Fundraising Inquiry Expands

From the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign:

"It's been a tough last week for Governor Jim Doyle. First, one of the state longest-serving Democratic officials – retiring Milwaukee County District Attorney E. Michael McCann – took the governor to task publicly for his overzealous fundraising and lack of commitment to campaign finance reform. Then the Wisconsin State Journal reported today that law enforcement officials looking into a questionable state travel contract also are examining the relationship between utility donations to Doyle and state approval of the sale of the Kewaunee nuclear power plant."

Think about the above and then consider the fact that Mark Green and Scott Walker have their own shady financing to answer for. And then consider that when a strong Green Party candidate gets in the race, he or she will be labeled a "spoiler." That's sick. --Tony

Update: Here's a Journal Sentinel piece on Doyle's utility-backed fundraiser.
