According to a former aide to Sen. Spencer Coggs, the longtime state legislator used state time and resources for personal use.
A report by the website WisPolitics said the aide, Jana Williams, first raised allegations in 2010 that Coggs hired a state staffer to work for his 2010 campaign for lieutenant governor and had his other employees attend topersonal issues, namely helping his wife’s business.
The complaint, filed to the Government Accountability Board in 2010, is only now becoming public. GAB spokesman Reid confirmed a complaint was filed, but declined further comment.
Williams was fired in 2010 after Coggs lost his lieutenant governor bid in the primary and Democrats lost control of the state Senate.
Coggs is currently running for City of Milwaukee Treasurer.
