Wisconsin DPI Candidate Fund Raising
The money being tossed around in this race reflects the growing partisan nature of a purportedly non-partisan position (Burmaster was on stage at the recent Kerry/Springsteen rally). Dave Zweifel also weighs in on the changing nature of this elected position.
The DPI Candidate primary is Tuesday, 2/15/2005. Vote - perhaps for Yvarra or Stelzel, two who are running without a serious cash machine....
Given the partisan nature of the job, Zweifel is correct in advocating for a fall election.
