Newspapers blast Doyle trips
Statewide editorials are starting to jump on Jim Doyle and his latest escapade proving what a terrible governor he really is.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported this past weekend:
"Gov. Jim Doyle and his staff failed to properly account for 145 travel expenses over two years, including a $5,200 business-class flight to Ireland and a $654-a-night stay in a London hotel.
Nearly three-fourths of the time in 2007 and 2008, Doyle and his staff didn't supply receipts as required under state travel policy. By comparison, Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton and her staff didn't provide receipts one-third of the time during the same period.
Travel records also showed Doyle spent more than $1,500 on two chauffeured vehicles in Canada. That expenditure did not violate state travel policy, however."
Editoral writers aren't happy:
