Senators keep the public in the dark about big donors
June 7, 2011
Madison –
The complaints were filed against Republican Senators Randy Hopper of Fond du Lac, Dan Kapanke of La Crosse, and Democratic Senator Dave Hansen of Green Bay. The complaints were filed with the Government Accountability Board, which enforces state campaign finance, ethics and lobbying laws, along with portions of the senators' recent campaign finance reports that show the contributions that lacked the required information.
Chapter 11.06(b) of the Wisconsin Statutes requires candidates and officeholders to identify the occupation and employer of contributors whose cumulative contributions exceed $100 in a calendar year.
This transparency requirement is important because employment information about large political campaign contributors allows the public to see the wealthy special interests that support candidates for public office.
The Democracy Campaign initially identified this problem in a May 5 report that reviewed fundraising and spending by 11 state senators targeted for recall elections. The senators were the subject of recall efforts because of their support or opposition to a plan by Republican Governor Scott Walker to abolish most public employee collective bargaining rights. Walker's plan was approved by Republican state senators after the senate's 14 Democrats left the state in an unsuccessful attempt to block a vote on it. The measure drew a month of protests at the State Capitol by tens of thousands of public employees and their supporters.
Topping the list of those with missing donor information was Hopper whose campaign reports covering January 1 through April 18 failed to disclose employer information on 23 contributions worth $42,650. The contributions with missing information included six donations of $5,000 each and 11 contributions of $1,000 each. Most of the contributions came from Fond du Lac and Oshkosh business executives including $20,000 from executives with Badger Liquor, one of the state's largest liquor distributors, and $6,000 from executives with J.F. Ahern, a mechanical and fire protection contractor, the Democracy Campaign found.
Kapanke's campaign finance reports show he failed to disclose occupation or employer data for 12 contributions totaling $6,150, including four $1,000 donations, between January 1 and April 18. One of his reports claims he requested employer information from three of the contributors.
Hansen's campaign finance reports show he failed to disclose employer information for 14 contributions totaling $2,939 he received between January 1 and April 18. The contributions with missing information ranged from $125 to $300 each and included a $250 contribution from former Democratic Congressman Steve Kagen of Appleton.
Six other Democratic and Republican legislators targeted for recall also did not include required occupational data with some of their large contributions though the total number and size of the contributions were smaller than those of Hopper, Kapanke and Hansen.
Democratic Senator Robert Wirch of Kenosha failed to include occupational data for five contributions totaling $1,225 and his colleague, Jim Holperin of Conover, did not properly identify one individual who gave him two contributions totaling $150. Fellow Democrat Julie Lassa of Stevens Point did not disclose employer data on three contributions worth $670.
Republican Senator Sheila Harsdorf of River Falls did not have employer information for three contributions totaling $1,325 and her colleague, Alberta Darling of River Hills, did not have occupational information for four contributors who gave her a total of $950. Darling and fellow Republican Glenn Grothman of West Bend, who did not have employer data for one contributor who gave him $1,000, tried to get the information, their campaign finance reports claim.
Two other recall targets – Republican Senator Luther Olsen of Ripon and Democrat Lena Taylor of Milwaukee – properly identified all of their large individual donors and a third, Republican Robert Cowles of Green Bay, did not file any campaign finance reports, presumably because he did not raise or spend any money for recall expenses between January 1 and April 18.
Copies of the three complaints and portions of the campaign finance reports that show the missing contributor information can be obtained from the Democracy Campaign upon request.

Pat Langton put together these nifty retro Star Wars posters. The only beef that I have is that I thought that Star Wars was already retro… Still, it's always cool to see a re-interpretation of my favorite trilogy, by this I mean the original trilogy, not the new one!

Tsum TsumsIt's been quite a while since I last did a 'Little Things' post, and considering they are one of my favourite kinds of posts to write I've really missed it. I thought I'd kick things off with my current favourite obsession - Disney Tsum Tsums. These super cute stackable cuddly toys have been everywhere over the past few months, and I just love everything about them. There are so many different ones available to collect, and I adore the Japanese-inspired oh-so-cute style they have. I want them all! Thankfully, you can get hold of them from the likes of Clinton Cards and The Disney Store, or online, so they're not hard to come by.
Ted Baker Grace perfume*
I've always been a fan of the Ted Baker 'Sweet Treats' range of perfumes, so when I heard they had added a couple of new additions to the collection I just had to give one of them a try. The two new fragrances are named Grace and Olivia, and I was lucky enough to get to try Grace - a delicately sweet mix of rose, jasmine and muguet with dusky vanilla. I absolutely love the scent and have been wearing it lots lately - I'm a big fan of sweet scents so it's a definite winner for me. The purse spray also fits perfectly into my handbag and I love the rose gold packaging.
Fresh flowers
As the first signs of spring are finally here, I've started getting into the habit of picking up a bunch of flowers once a week to brighten the place up. There's just something so nice about having beautiful fresh flowers on show in the home, and they don't have to be expensive to make things that much sunnier. I picked these up for £3 from Tesco and think they're lovely!
'The Mermaid's Sister'
I've been attempting to get back into reading recently and I'm currently part-way through 'The Mermaid's Sister' by Carrie Anne Noble. Growing up I absolutely adored fantasy books, so when I come across fantasy/fairy tale-esque books that aren't just for children, I just have to add them to my collection. 'The Mermaid's Sister' is about two sisters - Maren, who was found as a baby in a seashell, and Clara, who was brought by a stork. So far I'm really enjoying it - it's the perfect escapism and the language in itself is magical.
Bunny tape dispenser*
Recently I've been having a little shift around in my desk area, getting rid of clutter and adding in useful stationery bits and bobs. This bunny tape dispenser from Flamingo Gifts is a fairly new addition to my desk and I absolutely love it. I'm all about quirky little desk accessories and this makes things so much easier for me as I'm forever losing my sellotape. Love it!
What little things are you loving lately? I'd love to know!

Like with the strata recipe, I just made up this recipe as I went, so please forgive the lack of true measurements!
- 1 lb. ground pork
- 1/2-1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 jalapeno, diced
- 2 cups spinach and arugula, chopped
- 1 cup or so shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 can enchilada sauce, any time (I used a mild red sauce)
- 8 small corn tortillas
- Spices: salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, coriander
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray 9x13 pan with cooking spray.
In a skillet, saute pork, onion, jalapeno and a shakes of each of the spices (to taste) until pork is cooked through. In another skillet, saute spinach and arugula in a skillet with a bit of water (you could probably cook the spinach withe pork, but for some reason I didn't). Mix the spinach in with pork.
Lay out all tortillas and scoop a hefty amount of pork mixture onto each tortilla. Top with cheese. Roll each one tightly (easier said than done) and lay in pan with seam side down. After all tortillas are rolled, pour can of sauce on top and top with additional cheese, if there is any left.
Bake for about 30 minutes or until sauce is bubbly. Broil on high for about 5 minutes. Enjoy with some black beans on the side!


text: DMG attorneys Sean Sullivan and Kathryn Doi secured a Summary Judgment win for a rail client. The plaintiffs filed suit alleging that they suffered property damage and personal injury resulting from both idling of locomotives on railroad tracks adjacent to their property and a September 2012 train derailment adjacent to their property. After the close of discovery, DMG filed a Motion for Summary Judgment on behalf of their clients, renewing its preemption argument and further contending that no evidence supported the plaintiffs' claims that the September 2012 derailment proximately caused their alleged damages. The court rightly found the idling claim was preempted and the derailment claim was unsupported by any evidence in the record. The Court granted summary judgment for DMG's client and terminated the case.

Recipe: Salad a la Gwen
An invention of mine that I made for lunch this afternoon. I'd intended on just putting some lettuce and leftover chicken in a bowl, and tossing it up with some premade store bought dressing, but at the last moment, I decided to fancy it up a bit.
These measurements are all extremely vague, because I never measure when I'm being creative in my cooking. I just put what I think looks right. Sorry!
what you will need;
- About a cup of cold cooked chicken
- Two heads of lettuce
- Three small tomatoes or two large ones
- Olives
- A cucumber
- An avocado
- Oregano
- Dijon mustard
- Mayonnaise
- Salt
- Honey
- Garlic
- Balsamic vinegar
- Olive oil
Salad: Break up the two heads of lettuce and put them in a large bowl. (You need lots of room for tossing.) Add the cucumber, tomatoes and avocado (chopped), along with the chicken and a few spoonfuls of olives.
Dressing: In a small bowl, put about three big tablespoonfuls of mayo, one teaspoon of mustard, one teaspoon of honey, one teaspoon of oregano, two tablespoons of vinegar, four tablespoons of oil, a pinch or two of salt, and two cloves of crushed garlic. Whisk it all up with a fork until it's creamy.
Pour the contents of the bowl onto the salad, toss it up, and eat it!
If this dish does not suit your taste in any way, it can be modified. More or less of anything is perfectly fine, along with adding any of your favorite ingredients. I was going to put some feta cheese, but the boys don't like it.
If you try this, be sure to tell me how it turned out. I'm a little bit anxious.
P.S. I just realized, this is just in time for the American Thanksgiving. So there you go!
