One Wisconsin Now Files Open Records Complaint after Gableman Repeatedly Withholds State E-mails

3/21/2008-

Celebrating “Sunshine Week” by Hiding Public Records?

Yesterday One Wisconsin Now was forced to file an open records complaint because Michael Gableman has refused to turn over emails from his state account. He claims that eight of those emails are personal even though they fit our search criteria of mostly political names and words.

Yesterday the Associated Press reported on our struggle in obtaining the public records. They also revealed that they also requested very similar email records from Gableman but he has all but ignored them. What a way for Michael Gableman to celebrate Sunshine Week, by hiding public records not only from concerned citizens but also from the media.

What is he hiding anyway?

The Capital Times did a major front page story on OWN and its Blog Editor on 8/30/07. You can CHECK OUT THE FULL STORYor read some of the clips below!

"The campaign against Ziegler also established (One Wisconsin Now), as a major player in state politics and, perhaps more importantly, showed just how a grass-roots group with a shoestring budget can take on some of the state's biggest and best-financed special interest groups."

"as long as they continue receiving money, they're very much going to be part of the political landscape in Wisconsin."-GOP Strategist Mark Graul

"If the Republicans don't get something like One Wisconsin Now soon, they're stupid,we have got to figure out some way to wage the same kind of guerrilla warfare they're doing."-Anonymous Republican Strategist

"What distinguishes One Wisconsin Now from the other groups, though, is use of the Internet as its primary vehicle for reaching activists, and its emphasis on grass-roots organizing and communication through the Internet instead of such traditional means as direct mail and television, radio and print advertising. That allows the group to offer supporters a bigger bang for the buck and puts it on the cutting edge of political organizing..."
