Not the Republicans again!!!
The party that is finally restoring the public's faith in the electoral system, also knows they are the ones who have schemed to game that system. Republicans like clean elections. So they eliminated public funding and now require voter ID. That aught to do it! And don't even bring up election fraud.
But wait, did we forget about campaign finance laws? So what's wrong with a few hundred, to thousands of extra dollars, when you're talking about "free speech?"
AP: Wisconsin state insurance commissioner Ted Nickel and nine other donors to Republican Gov. Scott Walker have been accused of breaking the state's campaign finance law.Does cronyism and pay to play sound like great government to you?
Nickel gave $10,255 to Walker's campaign in three donations. The first was in October 2008 and the last two came in August. He was selected as insurance commissioner in January.
jsonline: Other donors include Michael White, chairman of the Rite Hite Corp., and Thomas Schneider of Schneider National.
Walker signed two bills Tuesday at Schneider's corporate headquarters in Green Bay, one of which reduces the liability of truck drivers in negligence cases.
Watchdog group the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign filed a complaint Wednesday with the Government Accountability Board related to donations that exceeded the $10,000 limit allowed to be given during the campaign period. The donations came between July 1, 2008, and the end of last year.
The largest donor was Michael White of River Hills, who gave $15,000 -- $5,000 above legal limits.
