I just wish he wouldn’t make it so hard. I have never met Mr. Westlake, and he seems by all accounts to be a very nice person. I also fully respect the campaign he has run(although I dont understand how he can do it), but getting out and meeting people and being willing to [...]

Here’s a link to the Hill’s 50 Wealthiest Legislators in Washington!
Somebody there missed Herb Kohl…since the 50th person is at $5.1 million, Senator Kohl should certainly have been on this list. The Milwaukee Bucks alone should put him near the top.
Wisconsin didn’t do too badly:
#26 Representative Jim Sensenbrenner is the Wisconsin [...]

I started working on this blog about a week ago and then set it aside when Tim John posted that he was attending Drinking Liberally. I thought I’d talk to him a bit and add any new information before posting. Well he showed up but I got distracted by other conversations. Well after reading [...]

Wow is all I can say, because Stone didn’t hold back any punches until the Gamble candidacy was official via nomination papers being turned in.

State Representative Leah Vukmir (R-Wauwatosa), candidate trying to oust State Senator Jim Sullivan (D-Wauwatosa), is holding a fundraiser on June 28th…in Muskego. It strikes me as a funny since most of us who live in the southern burbs of Milwaukee metro always complain of the lack of places to dine or hold events. We [...]
