Wisconsin is open for pay to play



Michigan Donors Get State Contract.  (Urban Milwaukee, 1/31/2017)
Search skills trump legislative action to hide data.  Thank you, Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.  Walker’s campaign report, which covered the last four months of 2016, did not identify any of the five contributors as being with J & B Medical Supply because campaign finance laws were changed in 2015 to provide less information to the public about big campaign donors.  Previous state law required candidates to identify the employers and occupations of individuals who contributed more than $100 annually. Now, candidates only have to identify a large contributor’s occupation.
