Spivak & Bice harvest email from a dental claims provider:
“It’s clear to me that (Jim) Doyle is going to win. . . . McCallum is a stiff,” wrote Borca, the multimillionaire founder of a slew of Milwaukee-area companies. “I’m having dinner at a friend’s house tonight (Jack Goodsitt) who is a good buddy of Doyle . . . there will only be four of us, and he set it up so I could get to talk with Doyle.
“I’m giving Doyle ten grand with the same understanding of our personal meeting about Medicaid. . . . I hate giving money to a democrat, but we sent 50 grand to NJ, and will now win the dental carve-out. I’m hoping you will help offset my Doyle expense to the tune of 2 grand . . . if you don’t want to, I’m still going to do it, as I did mccallum . . . let me know.”
Doyle has raised more money at a faster rate than former Governor Tommy Thompson.
