4:37 PM: DA having trouble finding investigators for One Wisconsin Now complaint
Burnett County District Attorney Ken Kutz said he has found not takers so far in his request for neighboring prosecutors to handle an open records complaint One Wisconsin Now filed seeking e-mails from Gableman's county account.
Kutz said he sent out 10 emails to DAs in neighboring counties. Kutz has declined to pursue the complaint himself because Gableman is the only judge in the Burnett County.
"I've gotten nine 'nos' and one no response," he said.
Kutz said if none of his local colleagues take up the task, he'll most likely contact the state Attorney General's office to see if someone there can handle it.
Gableman released some e-mails to the liberal-leaning group in response to the records request but held back eight, saying they were personal in nature. OWN filed the complaint over those e-mails he held back.
Gableman's campaign said in a statement today he has complied with the OWN request and it's false to claim otherwise.
