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 [...]

Earlier today, State Sen. Kevin Fisc….Mary Lazich, one of Wisconsin’s worst legislators, accused the developer of a proposed housing development in New Berlin of turning to two Dane County Democratic senators to get support for tax credits after she refused to endorse the plan. The only problem with Sen. Lazich’s accusation? It’s not [...] Posted by Zach on March 17, 2010, at 5:59 am
To say conservative blogger/legislative aide Kevin Fischer seems just a little unhinged would be an understatement. As James Widgerson wrote, we could have a contest to determine the point of Fischer’s blog post, but I’m betting it would be a contest without winners. Seriously….read for yourself (if you can bear it) and tell me [...] Posted by Zach on October 21, 2009, at 6:17 am
Here’s some good news…crime in Milwaukee decreased 12.3% overall through the first nine months of this year when compared with the same period in 2008, marking the seventh consecutive quarter in which crime has dropped in the city, according to data released Monday by the Police Department. That’s certainly good news for Milwaukee, [...] Posted by Zach on January 27, 2009, at 6:38 pm
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. Among the worst? State Senator Mary Lazich, of whom the article says: Sen. Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin): “Everybody hates her, even the Republicans. She’s [...] Posted by Zach on January 8, 2009, at 6:28 pm
A few days ago, I asked if State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) would give back her 5.3% pay raise for this year, and along with that blog entry, I sent Sen. Lazich an email. Today I got an answer to my question: Dear Zachary: Thank you for your e-mail about the legislative [...] Posted by Zach on January 6, 2009, at 4:22 am
As a part of their continuing efforts to raise awareness on drunk druving in Wisconsin, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel sent a survey to Wisconsin’s legislators asking them a series of questions regarding alcohol-related policy issues. The MJS posted the results of those surveys, and as I was perusing the results, I came across this [...] Posted by Zach on January 4, 2009, at 9:25 am
A week ago today, I blogged about the 5.3% raise state legislators were due to receive this week, and I noted State Rep. Bob Ziegelbauer (D-Manitowoc) had already indicated he planned on giving his raise back. Now sure, Ziegelbauer’s gesture is wholly symbolic, given the fact that he makes over $78,000 a year as [...] Posted by Zach on December 29, 2008, at 12:53 pm
State lawmakers are due to get a 5.3% pay raise effective January 1, 2009, boosting their yearly salary to 49,943 a year. State Rep. Bob Ziegelbauer (D-Manitowoc) has already said he’s going to give back his pay raise, and shortly after Rep. Ziegelbauer’s announcement, a few other legislators followed suit in announcing they too [...] Posted by Zach on June 20, 2008, at 1:56 pm
Wisconsin State Senator Mary Lazich is obviously not among my favorite legislators. Putting aside her outrageous belief that Wal-Mart should run our health care system, I also take issue with the conduct of her staff, including the propensity at least one of her staffers has for abusing his vacation leave. Given my own problems [...] |
