Gov wannabe breaking state rules
A Wisconsin Democracy Campaign review of contributions from special interest political action committees (PACs) to Republican candidate for governor Mark Green shows that most of the donations run afoul of the state law requiring PACs donating to state campaigns in Wisconsin to be registered with the state. The Democracy Campaign brought the new finding to the attention of the state Elections Board in a memo sent to board members. Last month, WDC wrote to the board that the PAC money Green has accumulated to help finance his run for governor exceeds the amount allowed under state law. The Elections Board has put the issue on the agenda.
