George,

In response to your open records request on June 6, 2013 we searched our records for any correspondence referring to the topics and names you mentioned. We did receive an email and phone call from Tegan Wendland today with questions on a budget matter unrelated to the budget motion on the WCIJ. I have attached a pdf of that email. Our search turned up no additional correspondence pertaining to your request.

Also, multiple WisPolitics daily update/news emails that are still in our email refer to the WCIJ issues in the news. These are update emails that are sent out to thousands of subscribers on a daily basis. If you would like a copy of those let me know. Thank you.

Pat Strachota
