Just a few things today - Our illustrious governor is back from Iraq where he visited the troops from Wisconsin. He went on an invitation from Secretary Rice along with two other governors. It was a good opportunity for him to show how much he loves the military?!
While he was in Iraq he was notified that his administration was coming apart at the seams. He found out that he wasn't the only one that was selling the state of Wisconsin for cold cash to fatten up the party coffers.
He, and most of the country now know, that he is up to his neck in corruption over illegal 'letting' of travel contracts by a members of his administration. Illegal in that the contract was given after campaign donation were made to the governor. After all, there are more important things here than just state contracts to consider.
Mr. Doyle has since cancelled the contract and started an inquiry into contract-letting procedure, but he made it clear that the investigation was not to include looking for a paper trail that would lead to political motivation. That would be a waste of time as Wisconsin is corruption free.
It is also very interesting that he decided not to give the $20,000 back.
Also, Mr Doyle vetoed the Concealed Carry Law that the legislators put on his desk a few weeks ago, and today the sponsors of the bill tried to over-ride his veto but lost by two votes, both Democrats.
These two Democrats voted for the original bill, but decided not to go against the governor by voting for the over-ride. I'm sure their families feel much safer now that the two wayward law makers have discovered, at the last minute, what is best for them and the great state of Wisconsin.
