Narrative:

Osh ATIS reported the braking as good on all runways with 75 ft right/left of the center lines plowed; sanded and patches of compact snow. Wind 320/12 with VFR conditions. On final I asked if an aircraft had reported the braking action to the tower because the report was from the county (this is never accurate). He repeated what the ATIS was advertising and mentioned that it's probably 'better' than good because of the sun shine. He did not answer the question. During landing roll out we encountered different conditions. Left of the center line for runway 36 was clear and dry by about thirty to forty feet right of the center line the surface was covered with two to three inches of heavy wet slush. The airplane surged forward and aft during the roll out skidding side to side as we fought to keep the airplane straight. The slush thundered against the flaps and underside of the wing causing concern in our eight passengers. A twenty foot rooster tail of slush was reported by FBO staff. We reported the conditions to the tower as poor. It should have been closed in my opinion. Crossing 9/27 during the taxi in we noticed the entire runway clear; bare and dry which was never communicated to us. The tower had someone inspect the runway after our landing and reported conditions as fair. The tower had taken complaints about runway 36 all day by pilots but never offered this information to us. Communications are poor and the data they offer to the public is inaccurate. The runway was closed late one evening but the airport maintenance manager failed once again to NOTAM it closed. This also happens all the time. We have discussed our concerns with the airport and maintenance managers several times but nothing changes. We experience this type of conduct throughout every winter. Budget constraints and the lack of manpower are the excuse we hear. Someone is going to get hurt and metal will be bent at this airport and the surface conditions and the manner at which this place is maintained will be a direct factor.

Title: A Citation Captain reported landing at OSH with slush on the right half of the runway which was not reported accurately by ATIS or the Tower. Directional control difficulties were also reported.
