Besides Governor Brian Schweitzer embarrassing our state with his speech to the trail lawyers in Philadelphia where he detailed how he tampered with the election of 2006, it appears his staff has been doing a little tampering with the Governor’s Wikipedia site. Check out the story HERE from the U of M College Republicans.
Of course, they wanted to take down the section that informed readers about the Governor turning some dials to rig the election victory for Jon Tester.
They also apparently used a computer registered to the State of Montana when editing the site. Taxpayer-funded staff helping the Governor to look good – sounds like the PSA issue all over again.
Will the Governor and his employees ever learn that using taxpayer-funded computers for non-duty related work or campaign work and doing it during the time you are earning a paycheck from the state is illegal, not to mention unethical? Maybe they need to remove Internet access like they did the games that come installed on the computers?
In 2006, the Montana media went wild about the same issue when it was a Republican. We’ll see if they cover this. It won’t be going away anytime soon.
