Not So Fast - Cheese State Edition

Woke up to this on the morning's news shows -

Wisconsin election officials ordered gubernatorial candidate Mark Green (R) "to divest his campaign of any contributions from PACs that were not registered in Wisconsin when the donations were made. The order applies to an estimated $468,000 in contributions that Green converted from his federal campaign account to his state gubernatorial fund in January 2005," according to WisPolitics.com.

The board, on a 5-2 vote, gave Green 10 days to comply with its order...

But Green campaign manager Mark Graul insisted the PAC donations have already been spent and there was no money to return. He said the ruling will have no impact on the campaign's finances and accused Gov. Jim Doyle of engineering the vote."
