The Daily Pravda (Milwaukee branch office) ankle-bites Kleefisch over the computer problems at DWD which became a disaster under Evers.
Almost at the very bottom of the story, we find this:
...The state recently began a yearslong program to overhaul the computer systems. It is expected to cost $80 million and is being paid for by the federal government. The work comes after the state abandoned a similar project in 2007 because of delays and cost overruns....
Who was Governor in 2007? Diamond Jim Doyle, a Democrat.
That's not to say that Walker/Kleefisch are blameless. We've noted countless times that Walker was just terrible on spending for maintenance for Milwaukee County and for the State. So yes--he should have addressed the DWD computers.
But it's also clear that the ankle-biter bureaucrat that Walker selected is now playing politics and may also be embellishing his story. (That reminds me that Walker was also terrible on personnel selection.)
The larger lesson: no matter the "who" in politics, they ain't gonna solve the problems. They may get one or two right, such as Act 10 or School Choice, but that's about it. The rest? Oh, well.
