Wisconsin: Mary Lazich (R-ALEC) Fails to Represent Senate District 28 Again

There are significant numbers of students from Senate District 28 who attend MATC, yet residents of Senate District 28 will have no input (under Lazich's Senate Bill 275) into the makeup of the Board. While on the other hand, there are few students from Washington
County who attend MATC, but Senator Grothman's Senate District will have 50% of the input into the MATC Board under SB 275.

Senate Bill (SB 275) will replace five members of the board (two employers, two employees and one citizen at large) with five members from private for profit businesses or hospitals with at least two being from companies that employee over 100 and none from companies that employee less than 15.

This eliminates small business people, public employers, public servants, and citizens. This lack of multiple stakeholder input flies in the face of 100 years of participatory traditions in Wisconsin.

THIS BILL HAS BEEN SPONSORED BY MARY LAZICH AND HAS HAD NO OPEN DISCUSSION OR PROFESSIONAL OR COMMUNITY INPUT.

Nice Scuba, I will be using this from now on for all (except for Dale Schultz) goose stepping Walker cons.

2. 28th Senate District

I agree that Lazich is not doing what I like, but lets face it, the overwhelming majority of the 28th Senate District supports Lazich and supports the policies ALEC is lobbying for. We had a chance to recall Lazich last spring but failed to collect enough signatures against her let alone the uphill climb to win an election.

I hope after this current round of recalls that the Democrats will have a majority and Lazich will be out of the negotiations at the state capitol.
