Did Dann's office sit on state collections regarding Gutierrez?
We already knew that before Gutierrez was hired, there were issues regarding his unpaid state and federal income taxes related to his construction business. We learned that a major avenue unexplored in the Espy-Pfeiffer report was the extent in which Gutierrez may have been conducting his construction business from his state office using state time and resources to operate his business. We already know that an administrative worker at the AG's office was placed on paid leave after she had an office work computer erased that investigators suspected was being used to conduct Gutierrez's construction business.
Now, we've learned over the weekend that Gutierrez's business didn't pay for his Workers' Compensation premiums for 2007.
Who exactly is in charge of helping state agencies like the BWC collect unpaid debts? Why, the Attorney General's office, of course. And what was the status of Marc Dann's office to collect from one of his former senior aides?
Dann spokesman Ted Hart said late Friday that he could not immediately determine the status of the collection case or who was handling it for the attorney general's office.
I bet it was lost in a file somewhere. Like all of Gutierrez's accident reports. But there are some progressive bloggers who want you to believe that the call for Dann to resign is all about his affair. It's not.
Gutierrez, for many reasons, simply should not have been hired. Now, we have to ask, did Dann's office sit on collecting a state debt against one of Dann's closest associates?
Yeah, Dann sure is doing a hellvu a job.



Which is more laughable....
