Eye on the Ball
In a letter to Jonathan Jackson dated 2 October, 1789, John Adams wrote,

Though I wasn’t a supporter of former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk in the Democratic gubernatorial recall primary for my own reasons, she deserves a ton of credit for all the hard work she’s done both during the protests of Republican Gov. Scott Walker’s attack on public employees and during the effort to recall Gov. […]
