Eau Claire Sheriff Ron Cramer says this list of names the Citizens for Accountable Jail Expansion endorses shouldn't be on its site without proper registration.

"That's political campaigning and they have no information on there who has authorized it, or paid for it, like they have in any campaign,” says Cramer.

Ken Fulgione says the members of CAJE were slow to mobilize. He says they registered as a political action committee on Thursday afternoon, which the Eau Claire County Clerk’s office confirms.

"As a group, they never really thought of themselves as a political organization,” says Fulgione. “I think people are working on campaigns more as individuals."

Organizers of Downtown MAJEC, a group supporting the jail downtown, says it already registered with the Wisconsin political accountability board.

"We talked about forming a group one week and about a week later, we had submitted the paperwork,” says Richard Spindler, one of MAJEC’s organizers.

MAJEC says the plans and information on its Web site come directly from the county.

But both Fulgione and Cramer pointed fingers today. They say information explaining the referendum's options on CAJE and the county's Web sites don't line up, and are confusing.

"The county is not putting out appropriate information so that people can understand it,” says Fulgione, who says the county is hiding what he calls “hidden costs” of the rest of the phases of a possible downtown expansion.

"Our responsibility to the public is to give them accurate information so they can make an informed decision,” says Cramer. “Right now, they're getting confused with misinformation and all I really want is clarity in this and let the public make the decision."

If you want more information about the choices on the jail site referendum, there's a public meeting this weekend. It's on Sunday at 3pm at the First Congregational Church in Eau Claire.

The April 6th referendum is non-binding and is only an advisory referendum on where voters would like to see the county build a jail and justice center. It will not serve as a final decision on a jail expansion plan.
