State Sen. Lena Taylor wants to get involved in the labor strife that’s looming between NFL owners and the players’ union following the 2010 season. To that end, Sen. Taylor has fired off a letter to Packers Team President Mark Murphy, and in the letter she makes it abundantly clear that she views a [...]

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, State Sen. Lena Taylor testified today in a secret John Doe proceeding at the Milwaukee County Courthouse. During a previous appearance at the John Doe proceeding, Sen.

It’s been rumored State Senator Lena Taylor is thinking about running for Lieutenant Governor in 2010, but while she hasn’t made her intentions officially known, at least one Democrat from Milwaukee is making his intentions clear:

In brief: Doyle’s reelection, DPW officers, MPD fundraiser

There’s speculation Gov. Jim Doyle won’t run for reelection in 2010, and while I’ve previously said I don’t think Gov. Doyle will seek reelection, I’m beginning to think he just might try to win another term as governor. After all, lots of folks were counting Gov. Doyle out in 2006, and he still [...]

On Tuesday, I noted State Senator Lena Taylor made Milwaukee Magazine’s list of the worst legislators in Wisconsin, I noted I was no fan of Sen. Taylor’s. At the risk of jeopardizing my standing as a liberal, I’ll just say that I find Sen. Taylor to be a less than impressive legislator and campaigner, [...]

The latest issue of Milwaukee Magazine is out on newstands and available on the internet, and Marc Eisen has a great feature highlighting the best and worst of Wisconsin’s legislators.

First of all, there’ll be no gnashing of teeth or whining here.

Am I disappointed in how things turned out last night? Hell yes, but such is politics. Sometimes your side wins and sometimes they lose; that’s just the reality of our political system.

While I’ve made no effort to hide my dislike for [...]

It’s Time to Choose

Zach — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 02:48:25 +0000

On the eve of Wisconsin’s spring election day, I’m going to make a few picks.

Wisconsin Supreme Court: This is a no brainer. Michael Gableman has run one of the most disgustingly vile and dishonest campaigns in as long as I can remember, and in doing so he’s exposed himself as supremely unqualified and [...]

On The Issues: Walker and Taylor Talk Crime

Zach — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 01:26:00 +0000

All Politics posted an entry earlier tonight highlighting the differences between Lena Taylor and Scott Walker as election day draws closer. What I found most interesting was this particular blurb:

Taylor also criticizes Walker over escapes and walk-aways from the work-release center. Walker puts the blame on judges, saying greater care was needed in [...]

Wanna Talk Confusion?

Recently, a commenter by the name of “Confused Lena” – who seems to have a hard time staying on topic – posted an replyto an entry I wrote about Scott Walker‘s broken promises as Milwaukee County Executive. What struck me about the comment – besides the fact that “Confused Lena” was apparently too confused [...]
