Man, it sure does seem like we're talking about Wisconsin a lot these days; but that's to be expected with the campaigning that's going on and the ongoing ethical scandals involving state officials.  There's a lot going on, and it's all keeping the Wisconsin reform community - especially Common Cause Wisconsin's Jay Heck - very busy.

Today, though, I want to highlight an editorial I came across from the Wausau Daily Herald.  It's message is straightforward: "Mudslinging drowns out good ideas."

This year's governor's race is estimated to cost $35 million; much of that will be spend on attack ads - indeed, it's already happening.
