Last Friday, I received a response to my open records request to the Government Accountability Board regarding the “million dollar web site”. For the back story, read:

In all, there were about 17 documents I received from the GAB via email. It’s a lot of documentation to sort through, but I have started to dig through it and try to piece together the bigger story of just how it is we’re spending a million dollars on a web site that I’ve said has less functionality than my weblog.
The answer so far? We didn’t spend one million dollars on this web site at http://cfis.wi.gov as the Journal Sentinel originally reported.
We spent TWO million dollars for the Campaign Finance Information System web site.
More soon.
I live in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Milwaukee, WI with my wife Jen, our daughter Emerson, and sons Carter and Colton.
Keep it up dude….
