State mistakenly destroys records from Gov. Thompson's administration

Whoops. Whoever is responsible for this commited a major mistake. Assembly Speaker John Gard wants an investigation into the incident, but I don't suspect any foul play here. After all, Thompson's political enemies would probably rather have all the records available so the public has the ability to learn how Thompson was a shill for lobbyists like the roadbuilders.

From the article, it looks like mostly constituent correspondence was lost, but it's still a shame to lose materials from a notable Wisconsin governor like Tommy Thompson.
