Mark Green can keep his money...some of it anyway
Kudos to the state elections board for doing the right thing today in allowing Mark Green to keep the almost $775,000 that was contested by Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, which he transferred from his congressional campaign account to his gubernatorial account.
However, I was disheartened to learn that the board refused to reverse the decision which it handed down saying that the campaign needed to get rid of $467,844 in donations from out-of-state political action committees. The Green campaign has since appealed that decision to the Wisconsin State Supreme Court.
P.S. I think that Frank Lasee is taking an interesting perspective and will be putting on the floor of the state legislature what many Wisconsinites have been thinking over the past few days with the threats of gun violence in schools. It will be interesting to see the discussion on this issues and what position, if any WEAC will take.
P.P.S. Also take a look at this…interesting… press release…or poem release rather from Kathleen Vinehout who is a Democrat running against Incumbent Ron Brown in the 31st Senate District in Western Wisconsin, it is just something that I have never really seen before.
