WI annual $$ report incomplete, off-projection 20% - - ho hum

Big sections are missing from the state's annual financial report, the projected balance is off by $77 million or about 20%, and Jim Doyle gets some of the blame because he initiated the reporting system which has some bugs not yet smoothed out.

Other than that, nothing to see here, says Walker's administration department.

Because, remember: Wisconsin is run like a business now. All the i's are dotted. T's crossed. The agencies are accountable because the conservatives who run them are vessels of personal responsibility.

LMFTFY: Wisconsin is run like a bidness now.

" Bidness
1.The opposite of legitimate business.
2.A street hustle, or a shady and mostly illegal business venture.
3. Dealings that aren't exactly "street legal"
Bloomingdales=Business. Selling dresses and purses out of your trunk=Bidness "

Seems like a convenient scapegoat excuse, Scott's had 6 years and almost 3 budgets to straighten it out. The more likely explanation is the much vaunted "STAR" system is not working correctly.

Yup. These reports have been completed by both administrations for 15 years. Why is the problem only happening now?
