State mistakenly destroys records from Thompson's administration

Hundreds of boxes sent to paper mill instead of archives

Several hundred boxes of records from the Tommy G. Thompson administration earmarked for the Wisconsin Historical Society for archiving instead were mistakenly destroyed, officials said Monday.

Tom Solberg, a spokesman for the state Department of Administration, confirmed that the records, which were stored at a state warehouse, were inadvertently put on the wrong truck and sent to a Green Bay paper mill, where the paper was turned into pulp. The records were supposed to go to the historical society in Madison.

"We have discontinued the destruction of any additional records until we can review where we are at," Solberg said. "We view this as a serious matter. We don't want this to happen again."

Come on, does anyone truly believe this was an accident? Republican Governor for 14 years, always with rumors of corruption, and then his records go poof? Right...

1. Pulp fiction..............

I'm sure it was an *honest* mistake. These type of things always are when they're in regard to Republicans. I'm sure someone will be severely reprimanded :eyes: for this travesty. This is after all, the administration of personal responsibility and civility.

2. Damn, if this were a Democratic administration can you imagine the

Republican-led media uproar over these destroyed records?

3. Big oops.

Well, what could be better than re-writing history? Destroying the evidence, of course.

I must have the toughest skull in the history of humanity, because otherwise my head would have exploded long ago.

Is there a link?

Do I believe this was an accident? No.

Republicans are past any form of 'benefit of the doubt' that I will give most people.


Do I think Tommy T. did it his-self? No.

I think a 'kool-aid drinking cowboy' did it. Sad thing is I don't think they need to be bribed or asked to do this sort of thing.
The Republican/Media Corporatista propaganda has sucked their souls, critical thinking... what's that?
