The state has pulled the plug on what was to be a $41.2 million computer project after it spent $10 million on a key component that has yet to work.
The suspension of the federally funded EnABLES project comes in the midst of an audit of state information technology projects and less than a year after the University of Wisconsin System abandoned a payroll system that had cost $26 million.
The state has been beset with a host of computer problems in recent years, including a failed e-mail upgrade, a long-delayed voter registration system and a database that has not accurately tracked sales tax collections. Together, the value of those troubled projects exceeds $100 million.
I read that and want someone to explain how this happens....
Then, explain how anyone can think the government should be put in charge of our health care and everything else from the cradle to the grave?

Game,
I used to work for Sperry and also Formula Consultants. You know the old addage about not wanting to watch how sausage or legislation is being made? Same with contracts let for IT for government. All the writer of the RFQ (Request For Quote) has to do is specify a unique feature of a certain vendor's product, and blammo, they get the contract. It gets real bad when Democrats hold a majority. The vendors are besieged for kickbacks and demands for hiring certain activists or their children. Anyone investigate Gwen Moore's "downlines" or Chuck Chavala's? An honest prosecutor can make a career taking Democrats to court.
