Charges a blow to cost-saving plan (AP)

MADISON, Wis. ââ?¬â? Federal charges against a purchasing official were not the first setback in a cost-saving plan pushed by Gov. Jim Doyle’s administration to cut the number of travel agencies used by state employees.

The state has already canceled one travel agency’s contract and the University of Wisconsin System, which accounts for the majority of the state’s travel, is not yet using the program.
