WJC doesn't acknowledge complaint against Butler
The Wisconsin Judicial Commission's executive director says he can't say whether his office received a complaint from a conservative activist against Justice Louis Butler.
The commission issued a statement earlier this month acknowledging it had received a complaint filed against Michael Gableman by Wisconsin Citizen Action. The statement did not comment beyond acknowledging it had received the complaint, which Citizen Action had publicized in a release to the media.
Executive Director James Alexander said today he could not say why the commission could not comment on whether it had received the Butler complaint, which Bob Dohnal distributed to the media yesterday.
Dohnal said he filed the complaint with the Government Accountability Board as well, but staff there said it is prohibited under the ethics overhaul lawmakers approved last year from commenting in any way about complaints filed with the body, including acknowledging receipt of one.
