The Republican Party of Wisconsin Monday filed a complaint with the state Government Accountability Board, asking the agency to investigate possible collusion between Democrat state Rep. Sandy Pasch's campaign and a special-interest group.

Pasch, who is facing Republican state Sen. Alberta Darling in the Aug. 9 recall election, sits on the board of the directors of Citizen Action of Wisconsin, a group actively involved in the recall race.

The group has filed papers with the state saying that it plans spend money to support Pasch in the recall, but as of Monday it hasn't reported doing so.

"(No reports) have been reported yet," said Mike McCabe, executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, a nonpartisan group that monitors campaign spending. "But that doesn’t mean they haven’t spent some money. It just hasn’t been reported yet."

1. I do believe the Repugs are crying wolf....

"There is nothing illegal about Pasch being on the board of directors or the group spending money on her behalf. However, Citizen Action cannot coordinate its efforts with the candidate."



..............."Gillian Morris, a spokeswoman for Pasch's campaign, also said there is no coordination between the candidate and the group.

"Sandy has been a member of their board for years, but she has had absolutely no involvement in any campaign strategy or plans, or anything like that," Morris said.

"This is a laughtable attempt to attack her because they're running scared and they're seeing the writing on the wall that Sandy is in a strong position to win that seat," she added."
