Dawn Marie Sass is embroiled in a travel scandal, leaving for a Treasurer convention at a posh resort while her office is heavily back-logged.

Travel 3 yrs back in time and State treasurer Jack Voight is broiled by Spivak and Bice of The Journal sentinel for spending over 7000 dollars to travel to New Orleans. with just a little more than a month until he would no longer be the Treasurer, having been defeated by Miss Sass in November.

One a democrat, one a republican. Neither with much to do. You may think that the treasurer would be busy ,busy ,busy, keeping track of all those tax dollars floating around Wisconsin. but no, not so much.

When Governor Doyle raided the patient compensation fund you probably thought he did it with the blessings of the state treasurer. After all she did appoint his wife's aide to a high paying position within her office that she was not qualified for. So when the Wisconsin medical society sued the state over the raid they named in the suit Dawn Marie Sass, treasurer of Wisconsin in their lawsuit.

Turns out upon discovery they were forced to drop her name from the suit after having determined that the treasurer had no role or responsibility in the disbursement of this money.

WHAT????? 90 million dollars of a trust fund gone and the treasurer has no role? how can that be?

Our Treasurer, whether it be republican or democrat cannot bar the door to the treasury or protect it from being misused. Their robo signature will go on every check the state writes good or bad.

It can however, waste 12 million dollars a year on a budget that was only 3 million in 2003. And I have no doubt that if I am unsuccessful at winning the September 14th primary that the next state treasurer will continue to travel to exotic locations for cushy "conferences" just as their predecessors and mentors did.

If I am elected I will either succeed in helping to pass a constitutional amendment to eliminate the position or I will leave office at the end of my term. One term is my pledge to you, the voters of Wisconsin
