Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner breaks two bones during meet-and-greet

Though I disagree with virtually everything he stands for, here’s hoping Republican Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner gets well soon. It was supposed to be a normal meet-and-greet for U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner at the St. Agnes Parish Festival in the Village of Butler.
