State workers travel despite warning (AP)

MADISON (AP) – In the weeks after Gov. Jim Doyleâ??s administration ordered state employees to curb unnecessary travel, those same workers charged the state more than $900,000 for hundreds of trips around the world.

Wisconsin state employees visited at least 30 states and the District of Columbia and eight foreign countries in more than 300 trips taken just the first three months of the year, records obtained by The Associated Press show.
