DHHS employees have even been called on to help LogistiCare and Coordinated Transportation Services, the private contractors, by taking overflow calls and email or fax appointments to the ride brokers.

This is interesting...Holy Rod Blagojevich, Batman!<br /><br />This is interesting:<br />http://host.madison.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/governor-defends-reed-hall-as-pick-to-lead-job-creation/article_4e2257f0-6a2b-11e2-9045-001a4bcf887a.html<br />Governor defends Reed Hall as pick to lead job creation agency<br /><br />Walker pays an executive search firm $40,000 to find a new WEDC executive director, then throws out the recommendations and selects Reed Hall who did not even apply for the job. How does working in the administration of a hospital for 34 years qualify Hall to be head of state economic development?<br /><br />The article says, “Kurt Bauer, president and CEO of Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, praised the selection of Hall, a former WMC board member, calling Hall ‘a proven innovator in business.’”<br /><br />How about this for innovation?<br />http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=search&case=/data2/circs/7th/973219.html<br />BLUE CROSS, ET AL. v MARSHFIELD CLINIC, ET AL.<br /> <br />“The jury found on sufficient evidence that the Marshfield Clinic entered into agreements with competitors to stay out of each other's territories. The purpose was to enable each of the firms, prominently including the Clinic, to charge higher prices to its customers.”<br /><br />I can see why Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce would love Reed Hall. Economic development is not its objective. Maximizing profits through illegal monopolies is far more desirable.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-54411679170461500372013-08-19T06:48:15.643-05:002013-08-19T06:48:15.643-05:00If you knew anything about its Indiana cousin, IED...If you knew anything about its Indiana cousin, IEDC, you'd know how corrupt it was going to be ahead of time.<br /><br /> Of course, WEDC's corruption and failure to create jobs is a feature, not a bug. It's a nice way to benefit corporate contributors, and the Friends of Scott Walker.
