Governor Doyle and the Scandal to Come



Everyone needs to read the editorial (bookmarked below) from The Lakeland Times, as well as the series of articles on Governor Jim Doyle and his quid pro quo with Wisconsin's Indian tribes. It's interesting that none of Wisconsin's major newspapers have written similarly about Doyle's proclivity for rewarding major contributors, and misleading the rest of us. Jim Doyle and Susan Goodwin have not been very smart about their use of gubernatorial authority. On both the legal and public relations fronts, they have been incredibly clumsy about how they do business. Doyle apparently coveted the job so long, that when he finally got there, he must have thought he could do anything he wanted. Very clumsy. Very dumb. And it will come back to haunt him. If the Doyle team thinks this is all going to blow over, they are sadly mistaken. When people enter the voting booth in the fall of 2006, be assured that the smell of the Doyle Administration will be in their nostrils.

What's new? Another scandal? Surprise, surprise. Wisconsin used to be a bastion of uncorrupted politics, or, is it that people simply started paying attention?
