Treasurer Dawn Sass
With our governor providing such a convenient target, another embarrassment has taken a back seat for some time. Her time has arrived, and she is more than a good target.
Dawn Sass, an unknown with no real prior experience ran in the last state election for the office of Treasurer of Wisconsin. She defeated the Republican, Jack Voight, when virtually every Republican was tossed from office. She had been employed by a department store up to that time.
Apparently she has managed to make quite a mess of the office she was given responsibility for, and has alienated staffers to the point that there are five or six vacancies at a time when the office is beyond the ninety day statutory time period for making refunds of property being held for citizens.
Beyond this, Ms. Sass has learned quickly how to spend taxpayer money on excursions to places she has probably always wanted to visit. She has been the subject, recently, of a Journal Sentinel series and has not done particularly well in the newfound limelight.
It seems she has hired members of her family as part-time employees, taken trips that she claimed were not paid for from state funds, etc. The trips were partially paid by the state. The work performed by the niece she hired appears to have been of dubious value. Ms. Sass continues to work part-time for the department store with which she was employed when she ran for this office.
So, we elected a person who had no qualifications for the office, she has not done the job, and she has used state money when she claimed that wasn't the case.
Seems she has learned her new trade quite well, huh? She fits right in.

Add to the fact that she fired the deputy treasurer and replaced him with a highway worker is just the cherry on the sundae.
