2. Amen to all the above--

except that I only WISH she were my State Senator--or more correctly, that we had a clone of her one district north. I have Terry "Teabag" Moulton.

4. Found this update

From https://www.facebook.com/racinecountyeye :

"Sen. Kathleen Vinehout suffered a broken arm but is otherwise okay. She was taken to St. Katherine's Hospital in Kenosha. Staff members who were with her were uninjured."

Not as bad as it could have been, thank goodness. It also says the car was totaled.
