Despite Gov. Jim Doyle’s call, the state never reviewed whether to change the rules to allow more faith-based organizations to participate in a program in which state employees can give part of their paychecks to charity.
“No action has been taken” to review eligibility requirements for those groups, a state lawyer acknowledged July 6 in a court document obtained by The Associated Press.
A Doyle administration spokesman said the state determined a review was unnecessary after an assistant attorney general advised the program was on solid legal footing.
