Conservatively Speaking
State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend, the town of Vernon and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.

Let Wisconsin speak about the federal health care mandate
I am renewing my request that the chairman of the state Senate Health Committee, state Senator Jon Erpenbach (D-Middleton) hold a hearing on a proposed state constitutional amendment about the approved federal government health care mandate. Senate Joint Resolution 62 (SJR 62), upon approval of voters statewide "... provides that the people have the right to enter into private contracts with health care providers for health care services and to purchase private health care coverage, and prohibits enactment of any law that requires any person to obtain or maintain health insurance coverage or to participate in any health care system or plan."
This is the single most important bill during the remainder of the legislative session. As the ranking minority member of the state Senate Health Committee, I ask that
I have officially made my request in a letter to Senator Erpenbach. What could be more bipartisan than to conduct a public hearing on this resolution before the general legislative session ends April 22, 2010. If people like the federal mandate, they can testify in support. If people do not like the unconstitutional mandate that imposes fines for failing to purchase health insurance, they can testify in opposition to the federal mandate and in support of SJR 62.
My fear is that the quality of health care will deteriorate in
Strong signs indicate that the recent proliferation of government health care in
In the very same budget that expanded BadgerCare to more population, the Doyle administration's Department of Health Services was directed to reduce medical assistance spending by $600 million. On top of that, the state has been late making Medicaid payments to hundreds of providers of care to the frail elderly and those with serious disabilities.
The BadgerCare debacle, cutting $600 million in government health care expenditures, and the $955 million Family Care Program are three known medical assistance problems. Yet, a state audit of Medical Assistance requested by Republican state Senator Rob Cowles and I is being stopped at every turn by Democrats.
In addition, an audit just released by the Legislative Audit Bureau found a $109 million shortfall in the Injured Patients and Families Compensation Fund, the state's medical malpractice fund. To balance the 2007-09 state budget, $200 million was raided from the Injured Patients and Families Compensation Fund to balance the 2007-09 state budget.
We all read about the massive fraud in Wisconsin Shares, the childcare program. There have been major problems with the state's food stamp program. Where there is smoke, there is fire. What's next?
I sincerely wish the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel or any other news outlet would duplicate the Journal Sentinel's award-winning reporting on the Wisconsin Shares program that led to an audit of the state subsidized child care program. This time, the focus should be on the $6 billion state Medical Assistance program. Imagine the amount of fraud and waste that could be uncovered by investigative reporters.
The State Legislative Audit Bureau published a scope statement for an audit of Medical Assistance. The co-chairs of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee scheduled two meetings to approve a Medical Assistance audit. At both meetings Democrats obstructed the audit. The Joint Legislative Audit Committee that I serve on should, as I have requested, schedule an audit of Medical Assistance to determine the scope of inefficiency in one of the state's largest programs. A full-blown audit by our outstanding Legislative Audit Bureau would provide clear answers. Ongoing problems with unaffordable programs that the state continues to expand must stop.
Before the current general legislative session expires in late April, I would hope the citizens of

Congratulations, Mark Gundrum!
I extend my deepest and heartfelt congratulations to my friend and colleague, state Representative Mark Gundrum (R-New Berlin) for being elected Waukesha County Circuit Court Branch 2 judge.
The same values and dedication that make Mark a great State Assembly Representative will make him an outstanding judge!
Mark will be missed at the State Capitol. However, Mark's continued public service as an officer of the court will be of great benefit to the community, and state of Wisconsin.
Once again, congratulations!

Do you believe the IRS?
Last week at a state Capitol news conference and during several media interviews about my request for a public hearing on Senate Joint Resolution 62, I referred to penalties for Americans that don't purchase health care under the approved federal health care legislation. Citizens that fail to pay taxes go to jail. Is that, I asked, what will happen to those refusing to purchase mandated health insurance?
IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman spoke Monday before the National Press Club in Washington D.C, and attempted to minimize one of the key provisions of the legislation, fines for people shunning health care purchases.
"These are not the kinds of things we send agents out about," Shulman told the audience. "These are things where you get a letter from us. Congress was very careful to make sure there was nothing too punitive in this bill."
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports, "The new health care fines, which go into full effect in 2016, are attracting quite a bit of attention as states and others challenge the constitutionality of a federal mandate requiring Americans to carry health insurance. Other detractors, however, criticize the penalties as too weak to be effective. The penalties for not carrying insurance could eventually amount to as much as $695 or 2.5% of a person's taxable income. That's far less than what annual insurance premiums could add up to."
Do you buy IRS Commissioner Shulman's explanation?
The Associated Press reported March 9, 2010, "President Barack Obama said he'll bring in high-tech bounty hunters to help root out health care fraud, grabbing a populist idea with bipartisan backing in his final push to overhaul the system. The bounty hunters in this case would be private auditors armed with sophisticated computer programs to scan Medicare and Medicaid billing data for patterns of bogus claims. The auditors would get to keep part of any funds they recover for the government."
If the administration intends to "bring in", i.e. hire additional bureaucrats to combat Medicare and Medicaid fraud, it stands to reason it will do the same to find, fine, and punish health insurance scofflaws.
I find it more than unusual that an IRS Commissioner would tell a national audience that his agency is not going to aggressively pursue violators of a specific provision, a statement I cannot recall a head of the IRS ever publically making about any other specific tax law. Believable?
WI jobs lost to China
Also to blame is competition with low-wage workers from less-developed countries that has driven down wages for other workers in manufacturing and reduced the wages and bargaining power of similar workers throughout the economy. Virtually all production workers with less than a four-year college degree, approximately 70 percent of the private-sector workforce, or about 100 million workers have been affected. The Institute reports that for a typical full-time median-wage earner during 2006, these indirect losses totaled approximately $1,400 per worker.
Looking at net jobs lost between 2001 and 2008,
What can be done?

Wisconsin taxpayers pay and pay and pay!
You know how hard you work to manage your money, and you know that you turn a sizable chunk of it over to government. How much do you turn over to the government?
Numerous tax studies abound annually. A simple and relatable report is the Tax Freedom Day report compiled by the nonprofit national Tax Foundation at
Tax Freedom Day is the day Americans earned enough money to pay all federal, state, and local taxes for the year. This year, Tax Freedom Day arrives April 9, meaning average Americans will work over three months to fulfill their tax burden at all government levels.
Each state has its own Tax Freedom Day. National Tax Freedom Day is April 9, 2010; however,
At the federal level there have been some tax reductions. President Bush enacted temporary income tax cuts during 2008. President Obama and Congress did the same during 2009 and 2010. The estate tax was repealed during 2010 as were the Pease and PEP (personal exemption phase-out) provisions of the federal income tax. You probably did not notice. The tax Foundation reports, "Despite all these tax reductions, Americans will pay more taxes in 2010 than they will spend on food, clothing and shelter combined."
To meet the obligation of meeting the burden of taxes at all government levels, the Tax Foundation calculates the average American will spend 32 days working to pay individual income taxes, 25 days to pay taxes dedicated to funding social programs like Social security and Medicare, 15 days to pay sales and excise taxes, 12 days to pay property taxes, 8 days to pay corporate income taxes, and 6 days to pay miscellaneous taxes like motor vehicle licensee taxes and severance taxes.
The easily-understood concept of Tax Freedom Day would be even worse with the deficit included. Like most tax studies, Tax Freedom Day does not calculate the impact of the deficit. The Tax Foundation emphasizes that due to the recession, government revenues continue to decline. However, government spending remains out of control witnessed by huge stimulus packages, and other new programs bringing the deficit price tag according to the Congressional Budget Office to over $1.3 trillion.
Importantly, if the federal government desired to collect enough revenue to finance all of its spending, the Tax Foundation writes, "It would have to collect about $1.3 trillion more, and Tax Freedom Day would arrive on May 17 instead of April 9 — adding an additional 38 days of work to the nation's work for government." For Wisconsinites keeping score, our Tax Freedom Day would then be May 20, 2010. Ouch!
State Senate calendar for Tuesday, April 13, 2010
Here is the calendar for the state Senate floor session scheduled for Tuesday, April 13, 2010 at 11:00 a.m.:
Easing up on marijuana is too risky
The front page headline in
"Slowly, states are lessening limits on marijuana"
The newspaper reports that there is "a growing national movement to rethink pot laws. From California, where lawmakers may outright legalize marijuana, to New Jersey, which implemented a medical use law Jan. 19, states are taking unprecedented steps to loosen marijuana restrictions. At least 14 states this year will consider legalizing pot for medical purposes or lessening the penalties for possessing small amounts for personal use."
As a member of the state Senate Committee on Health, I have serious concerns about this issue. The committee held a public hearing on bill considering legalizing medical marijuana.
Dr. Robert Wallace is a member of the National Education Association and the National Association of High School Administrators and writes a medical column on Creators.com. Wallace recently wrote, "Don't kid yourself that smoking marijuana is harmless. It can cause severe physical ailments."
Wallace then quotes from a magazine aimed at teen music fans:
"Smoking pot regularly breaks down the immune system, which means the user will be sick more often. Marijuana smoke also messes with the smoker's lungs big time, even worse than cigarettes……There is also medical proof that marijuana users develop what is called A-motivational syndrome which means they become apathetic."
Read Wallace's article here.
Too many questions remain making it too risky to ease up on marijuana restrictions.

Proposed changes would harm Wisconsin election process
I strongly oppose Senate Bill 640 (SB 640), legislation that dramatically changes the way elections are conducted in
First, the process. SB 640 (link to the bill) was introduced March 23, 2010 and is now being rammed through the Legislature in the final three weeks of the current legislative session. Following introduction, a joint public hearing was held eight days later with executive sessions in committee to vote on the bill the day after the public hearing. Serious, problematic changes in our voting system are being rushed.
Secondly, the substance. The bill would automatically register voters during driver license renewal. No other state has such a law.
SB 640 also allows municipalities to set up satellite absentee ballot stations for early voting, changes the current practice of allowing any citizen to challenge individual ballots, grants permanent absentee ballot status to voters that historically do not vote in low-turnout elections, allows university IDs to be used as proof of residence, and requires municipalities to hire speakers of a foreign language if at least five percent of the adults in their district are not English proficient.
The stunning changes are an open invitation to voter fraud and erode confidence in our election system that has seen its integrity questioned amid reports of fraudulent voting.
Last week, the Joint Finance Committee approved the election reform package along party lines. Wispolitics.com reports:
"The committee also approved a substitute amendment that makes changes to how electors can be challenged under the bill. The original bill requires that challengers be from the ward of the elector. The sub says that challengers can be from the county of the elector. An amendment introduced in JFC by Sen. John Lehman removed a provision that would have required a challenger to come from the aldermanic ward of the elector in
If proponents of SB 640 are serious about making positive change to restore credibility in
Legislation with provisions that have serious consequences affecting our voting system should be addressed carefully. Instead, this bill is on the fast track. I can only suspect the intent of proponents is to continue to water down election oversight to build upon their voter base.
SB 640 is available to be scheduled by the Senate and Assembly. If SB 640 is scheduled for state Senate floor debate, I will be voting no.
Problematic bill to select legislative successors is back
The state Senate this legislative session is considering a bill to devise a system to replace state lawmakers killed or incapacitated due to a terrorist attack or pandemic. Last August I was pleased that Senate Bill 227 (SB 227) was temporarily referred by the state Senate back to committee. However, SB 227 is scheduled for state Senate floor action Tuesday, April 13, 2010.
SB 227 is extremely problematic. If disaster should strike the state Capitol and require replacements, I strongly believe voters should decide the successors.
SB 227 as originally proposed required that a legislator, as soon as feasible after the Legislature reconvenes every two years, must file with the chief clerk for the legislator's house a list of not less than three nor more than seven emergency interim successors. The list would be secret and not subject to inspection or copying under the open records law.
If more than nine vacancies in the state Senate or more than 25 vacancies in the state Assembly are created because of some disaster, interim successors chosen by legislators on their secret lists would be appointed by the presiding officer or his or her designee in the appropriate house of the Legislature to fill the vacancies. The emergency successor would exercise the powers and duties of the office until an election is held or the emergency is over. All votes taken by interim successors would be valid.
Such a system removes electoral power from voters and would place expansive taxing and spending powers in the hands of unelected, unaccountable individuals chosen secretly.
During the September 22, 2009 state Senate floor session, I was prepared to offer an amendment to SB 227 to address my chief concern that the right to vote was being stripped from the electorate. My amendment outlined specific guidelines for emergency elections to he held quickly in the event of a disaster so that seats could be filled as soon as possible and citizens would continue to have elected representation.
Under my amendment, the state would have used the procedures already in place for special elections and allow the current process to move forward during a terrorist attack or pandemic. A special election takes place 62 to 77 days after the order is given by the governor. Primaries, if necessary, are held four weeks prior to the special election. An emergency election would collapse the process down to a much shorter time line.
My amendment likely had enough votes to be approved by the state Senate and that, along with a desire to reconsider the legislation, persuaded Senate Democrats to send SB 227 back to the Senate's scheduling committee, putting the measure on hold temporarily.
SB 227 is back with two amendments.
Senate Amendment 3 deletes from the bill the provisions relating to emergency interim successors for legislators.
Assembly Amendment 1 provides a process for choosing interim successors for legislators if there are nine more vacancies in the Senate at the same time or if there are 25 or more vacancies in the Assembly at the same time. Here is the analysis of Assembly Amendment 3 by Wisconsin Legislative Council:
"Under the provision for interim successors for Senators, the Senate leader of each political party for each vacant Senate seat that was last held by a member of his or her own party must request the state chairperson of that party to solicit nominations for an interim successor from county chairpersons of the party in each county that is at least partially within the Senate district. The Senate leader must request that the state chairperson select three to five potential interim successors from the nominees submitted by the county chairpersons and request that the state chairperson submit the names to the Senate leader of the party within seven days after the date on which the ninth Senate vacancy occurred. Within 14 days after the ninth vacancy occurred, the Senate leader of the political party must appoint an interim successor from the list of potential interim successors that is submitted by the state chairperson of the party. The bill lists the order in which persons are determined to be the Senate leader for the majority party and for the minority party. A similar procedure is specified in the amendment for situations in which there are 25 or more vacancies in the Assembly at the same time."
The amendments still leave a process that calls for unelected representation, the major flaw in this legislation. As I wrote last September:
"I question whether the state even needs to establish a system for interim successors as proposed by SB 227. The governor has emergency powers and
Legislation to create a system of selecting an unelected successor from a handpicked list should simply be forgotten. Recall the price tag on the

You should have already received your 2010 Census form in the mail. The Census form is clearly identifiable and simple to fill out with 10 questions.
The Census Bureau will not ask for Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, special PINs (personal identification number), or ask for such information via e-mail or telephone.
The only way to comply with the Census Bureau is to return the form you received in the mail in the supplied, postage-paid envelope.

State Senate approves school mascot legislation
The state Senate has narrowly approved legislation about the use of race-based names, nicknames, logos, and mascots by school districts.
An analysis of the bill by the Legislative Reference Bureau says, "A school district resident may object to a school board's use of a race-based name, nickname, logo, or mascot by filing a complaint with the state superintendent of public instruction. The state superintendent must schedule a hearing on the complaint. The school board has the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the use of the race-based name nickname, logo, or mascot does not promote discrimination pupil harassment, or stereotyping. If the state superintendent finds in favor of the complainant, the state superintendent must order the school board to terminate its use of the race-based name, nickname, logo, or mascot within 12 months after issuance of the order. A school board is subject to a forfeiture of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000 for each day that it uses the race-based name, nickname, logo, or mascot in violation of the order."
I voted against the bill, Senate Bill 25, because the process created will cost financially-strapped school districts, and will purge
Senate Bill 25 was approved 17-16 and now goes to the state Assembly for its consideration.
State Senate approves process to appoint legislative successors during emergencies
The state Senate has approved Senate Bill 227 (SB 227) that establishes a process to replace multiple vacancies in each house of the Legislature if disaster should strike the state Capitol.
In the event replacements are required, I strongly believe that the voters should decide the successors. SB 227 as proposed creates a system that removes electoral power from voters and in turn would place expansive taxing and spending powers in the hands of unelected, unaccountable individuals.
Here is the analysis of the bill by the Legislative Council:
"Under the provision for interim successors for Senators, the Senate leader of each political party for each vacant Senate seat that was last held by a member of his or her own party must request the state chairperson of that party to solicit nominations for an interim successor from county chairpersons of the party in each county that is at least partially within the Senate district. The Senate leader must request that the state chairperson select three to five potential interim successors from the nominees submitted by the county chairpersons and request that the state chairperson submit the names to the Senate leader of the party within seven days after the date on which the ninth Senate vacancy occurred.
Within 14 days after the ninth vacancy occurred, the Senate leader of the political party must appoint an interim successor from the list of potential interim successors that is submitted by the state chairperson of the party. The bill lists the order in which persons are determined to be the Senate leader for the majority party and for the minority party.
A similar procedure is specified in the amendment for situations in which there are 25 or more vacancies in the Assembly at the same time."
The process outlined in SB 227 is severely flawed because it calls for unelected representation.
I offered an amendment that would have voters select replacements when vacancies need to be filled. Under my amendment, after receiving notice of vacancies in either house of the Legislature by a presiding officer, the governor shall immediately call for a special election to fill each of the vacancies. The Government Accountability Board would then promulgate the rules that would be used to govern the special elections. The rules would include issues like notice requirements, places and deadlines for filing declarations, expedited printing and delivery of ballots, shortened periods for absentee voting, and setting the dates of special elections.
I worked closely with Government Accountability Board Director and General Counsel Kevin Kennedy on this amendment who informs the amendment is fair, reasonable, and workable.
My view is that the state of
The amendment was defeated along party lines.
SB 227 now goes to Governor Doyle for his consideration.

Very popular, yet frustrating
Wisconsinites love the No Call Law. Many Wisconsinites also continue to have frustrations with the law ever since it was enacted during 2003.
Creating the Wisconsin No Call List is one of the most popular decisions the state Legislature has ever made. Once a phone number is placed on the No-Call List, the number of annoying phone calls interrupting family dinner or other family functions is greatly reduced.
The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) has released its annual list of the top ten consumer complaints for 2009. Remaining in the #1 spot is the No Call List that has been on top every year since 2003.
How can such a popular, free service cause so much outrage? Blood boils when the law is violated. During 2009, consumers filed 2,187 complaints about No –Call violators.
Some perspective is in order. The No Call List has more than two million phone numbers according to DATCP Secretary Rod Nilsestuen. That means 0.1 percent of the phone numbers registered were the subject of complaints demonstrating the effectiveness of the No-Call Law. However, it is easy to understand the anger of consumers dealing with pesky telemarketers that have shunned
If your phone number is not on the Wisconsin No Call List, you may want to consider registering. DATCP reports, "Adding your phone number to the List will help reduce (but not eliminate) telemarketing calls."
Registering is simple and free. You can visit the No Call List website here or call toll-free at calling 1-866-9NO-CALL (1-866-966-2255). Registration could take 30-120 days.
Registering your cell phone is unnecessary and may be a very bad idea. Cell phone numbers are unpublished. If, for example, you provide your cell phone number to the national do not call list, suddenly, it becomes a published number. The lists of numbers must be purchased by telemarketers so they can comply with the do not call registry. It would be extremely easy for unscrupulous entities and foreign, international entities to get their hands on the numbers. Your best bet is to avoid registering your cell phone.
Government the most unlikely authority about responsibility

U.S. Senator Tom Coburn (R-Ok) tried unsuccessfully to kill the Personal Responsibility Education program with an amendment that was rejected. Another Coburn amendment that would have denied Viagra and similar medications to sex offenders was also defeated.
Whether the issue is financial literacy, contraception, STD prevention, or dating relationships, the federal government, now over $12 trillion in debt and wasting billions of dollars via ineffective programs, has zero credibility about personal and fiscal responsibility.
Another long day in the state Senate
The state Senate ended its floor session at 7:15 tonight after a day interrupted by three Senate Democrat caucuses, one of them lasting over four hours. Unusual sequencing made for a less than smooth day on the Senate floor. Twice Democrats moved to leave the floor to meet in caucus after members of the majority party disagreed about amendments.
Proceedings were abruptly gaveled to a close after state Senate Democrat Tim Carpenter took issue that the chair, Senate President Fred Risser would not allow a vote on a prescription drug bill.
Like Tuesday's session this week, today's lengthy state Senate calendar did not include any bills authored by Republicans.
The state Senate has three possible floor sessions remaining in the current legislative session: April 20, 21, and 22.
Here was the calendar for today's floor session:
Election clerks blast Democrats' proposed voting changes
Municipal election clerks from around
"The following changes increased the potential for or impaired the investigation of election fraud:
- Populating the official statewide voter registration list with persons who are not registered to vote;
- Not requiring signatures to confirm voter registration, whereas signatures are required for all registrations under current law;
- Enabling citizens to obtain and submit an absentee ballot in-person, without needing to certify with a signature or have ballot witnessed, unlike current law."
In a letter to state legislative leaders asking that the legislation be rejected, Van Hollen writes, "The changes proposed in this bill neither enhance the right to vote nor protect against fraud. Instead, they make election fraud more likely, chill the lawful exercise of speech that is at the core of the First Amendment, and jeopardize the orderly administration of election laws."
There are 1,851 municipal clerks in
Diane Hermann-Brown, clerk for the city of
"Clerks need time to protect the voter's rights," said Hermann-Brown. "We are only human and can do so much for so little for so long. When and how are we going to be able to process these additional absentee ballots?"
Hermann-Brown expressed concern about waiting lines at the polls that will only get longer and potentially dissuade voters. Hermann-Brown also worries about the potential of Saturday mail delivery being eliminated that would affect the absentee ballot process.
Diana Dykstra, clerk for the city of
"Register at DMV (Division of Motor Vehicles)? Are you kidding? The DMV is already the busiest and most under-staffed location," said Dykstra. "The DMV does not have a GIS system to verify addresses."
Dykstra has another concern. "On-line registration is not safe. With identity theft on the rise, you are not 100 percent sure your information is secure."
Dykstra believes the increased cost of the proposed election law changes will be passed on to taxpayers. She questioned why the legislation is being rushed.
The proposed election changes are contained in Senate Bill 640 and Assembly Bill 895. My Republican colleagues and I have grave concerns that this last minute power grab in the final days of the legislative session will open the door to increased voter fraud.

Consumers now able to convert IRAs to Roth IRAs
Good news for Wisconsin consumers.
February 19, 2010, I urged the Assembly to quickly take action on Senate Bill 439 that would allow conversion of traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs. I wrote in a news release, "This bi-partisan bill needs to be on the Assembly's agenda and fast. The sooner we allow Wisconsinites to take advantage of Roth conversions, the better."
I am pleased the Assembly approved the legislation the following week and Governor Doyle signed the bill into law.
Here are more details from the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.
Parents thought Gov. Doyle's WI Covenant was a free ride
Repeatedly in the past, I criticized grand spending programs the state promises that sound fantastic, but fail because they are unaffordable without specific details about paying the high cost. One such program is the Wisconsin Covenant.
The Associated Press reports, "The director of the Wisconsin Covenant program says she's heard from 'a lot of parents' who mistakenly believed it would give their children a free ride to college."
What did program officials think public reaction would be?
A public hearing was held about the Wisconsin Covenant program at the Department of Administration late last month.
Approved Senate bill will not fix MPS
The state Senate has approved legislation that will not improve conditions at the Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) system as proponents claim. It is said Senate Bill 437 (SB 437) gives the state superintendent of public instruction greater authority to intervene in failing schools within MPS and other school districts. Like a previous proposal to give
SB 437 ends tenure for MPS principals. That is a good concept except that under the bill, teachers would continue to earn tenure. As I stated on the floor of the state Senate, you might as well not have principals if you are going to strip them of their ability to hold teachers accountable.
I am sponsoring photo ID legislation
One of Senate District 28 state Assembly representatives, Jeff Stone (R-Greendale) introduced legislation requiring a photo ID to vote. I am pleased to be one of the lead sponsors of the legislation in the state Senate.

"This proposed constitutional amendment, proposed to the 2009 legislature on first consideration, provides that a qualified elector may not vote, or register to vote, at the polls on election day unless the elector presents a photographic identification issued by this state or by the federal government. After the date of ratification, the legislature, by law, with the concurrence of two−thirds of all the members present, may exempt any class of electors from these requirements. A proposed constitutional amendment requires adoption by two successive legislatures, and ratification by the people, before it can become effective."
State Senator Joe Leibham has introduced similar legislation, Senate Bill 199. I am pleased to be a lead sponsor of Senate Bill 199 in the state Senate.
Governor Doyle has vetoed photo ID legislation three times. Most Wisconsinites polled support a photo ID requirement to restore credibility and integrity to our sacred election system.
I have blogged extensively on this issue. You can read my previous photo ID entries here.
Lions Clubs license plates
Legislation I have authored to create special license plates supporting the Lions Clubs of Wisconsin has been approved unanimously by the state Senate. Senate Bill 307 (SB 307) allows special plates to be designed featuring a logo or image of the lion associated with the Lions Clubs International.
Under SB 307, a $15 fee for issuance or reissuance of the special plates is charged along with a $25 annual fee that provides funds to the Wisconsin Lions Foundation, Inc.
If approved by the state Assembly and signed into law, Wisconsinites will have a wonderful opportunity to support an amazing organization with a long history of providing great services to our state.
UPDATE: The state Assembly has approved SB 307. The bill now goes to Governor Doyle for his consideration.
State Senate rejects vote about suing the federal government
The state Senate today failed to bring Senate Resolution 11 to the state Senate floor for consideration that calls for
Over a dozen attorneys general around the country are suing the federal government on constitutional grounds. Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen would need authorization from the governor or one house of the Legislature in order to file or join a lawsuit.
The vote to bring Senate Resolution 11 to the state Senate floor failed along party lines with all 5 Senate Republicans voting in favor of having a floor vote and all 18 Senate Democrats opposed.
Most hypocritical bill
Senate Bill 600 (SB 600) is the most blatantly hypocritical bill that I have seen before the state Legislature this session. There have been a lot of bills by Democrats that are supposed to do one thing, and pretty much do something else. But, SB 600 takes the cake.
SB 600, before the state Senate Small Business Committee that I serve as a member, would impose penalties on businesses that hire illegal immigrants; however, the bill fails to address state government payment for services provided to illegal immigrants.
The bill says companies may not employ illegal immigrants. Seemingly, that would be a dastardly thing. However, the bill says illegal immigrants are welcome to stay in
SB 600 penalizes companies that hire illegal immigrants. Under the bill, a company that hires an illegal immigrant would be ineligible to:
- receive income or franchise tax credits or property tax exemptions;
- enter into contracts with the state or local governments for work on public works or building, or for providing supplies or services; and
- receive any grants or loans from a local governmental unit.
The ineligibility would last for seven years.
It was coincident that there were news stories Wednesday's, the same day as the SB 600 public hearing, about an Arizona Law clamping down on illegal immigrants. The Wall Street Journal reports:

Victories for Wisconsin residents as state Senate adjourns
The state Senate adjourned the final floor day of the general legislative session just before 2:00 this afternoon. Though the 2009-10 session was generally disappointing for its lack of legislation to create jobs and rejuvenate the state economy, there is good news. Some controversial bills are dead including:
The global warming bill
Regional Transit Authority legislation
The election overhaul bills, SB 640 and AB 895
The failure of these bills to survive the general session is very good news for
State Senate bids farewell to outgoing members
Today's state Senate floor session was the last for state Senator Alan Lasee (R-De Pere), state Senator Ted Kanavas (R-Brookfield), and state Senator Judy Robson (D-Beloit). The Senate honored the senators that are not running for re-election.
Senator Lasee has served in the Legislature for nearly 36 years, Senator Kanavas for nearly 10 years, and Senator Robson for 24 years. I congratulate and thank them for their public service and wish them the very best.
State Senate approves over 100 gubernatorial appointments
One of the first orders of business by the state Senate after it began its floor session shortly after 11:00 this morning was the confirmation of over 100 appointments to various boards and commissions by Governor Doyle. One of the appointments was Roger Axtell of
During 2009, the UW Hospitals and Clinics Authority Board voted to approve second trimester abortions at the
Roger Axtell's confirmation today was approved by the state Senate along party lines, 18-15.
UPDATE: Most hypocritical bill
Senate Republicans killed Senate Bill 660 (SB 660) with a Senate floor objection to SB 660 getting a third reading. A two-thirds vote was required, 22 votes, to give SB 660 its third reading before it could be given an up or down vote. Only 18 senators voted to give SB 660 its third reading so the bill is dead.
Local sex offender ordinances survive
Great news at the end of the general legislative session. Proceedings conclude without final action on legislation that would have repealed over 100 local ordinances around
The legislation is dead and the local ordinances remain in effect.
I commend the many concerned officials and citizens that participated in the process to save these important local ordinances. If you drove to
2009-10 legislative session mercifully ends
Results of the 2009-10 session show Wisconsin taxed more, Wisconsin spent more, Wisconsin was more hostile to business, and Wisconsin did little to create jobs and revive its sputtering economy.
A review of the disappointing session must begin with the 2009-11 state budget that increased spending 9.4 percent during a recession. The budget eliminated the QEO, the Qualified Economic Offer causing school property tax levies for 2009-10 to increase six percent according to the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance that also reports the tax increases from the 2009 budget adjustment bill plus the tax increases in the 2009-11 state budget total $3.03 billion.
Jobs. Getting the unemployed back to work should have been the top priority of the Legislature. According to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue,
Global warming legislation. A study of comprehensive green policies in
Election system overhaul. Problematic legislation that would have allowed on-line voter registration and automatic voter registration at the time of driver license registration, an open invitation to voter fraud, also died.
Regional Transit Authorities (RTAs). RTAs managed by members that are unelected and unaccountable to the taxpaying public enjoy wide powers. An RTA may operate a transportation system or provide for its operation by contracting with a public or private organization and impose a half percent sales tax. The Legislative Fiscal Bureau has reported that a half-cent sales tax increase to fund RTAs would cost about $172 per household a year.I oppose the creation of boards or authorities with appointed members having taxing power. This is taxation without representation. I was pleased RTA legislation died.
High speed rail. During February 2010, the Joint Finance Committee voted along party lines to approve spending over $800 million in federal stimulus money to construct a high-speed rail line between

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) surveyed data from the 15 states and the

Clearly, the intent of the 42.4 percent cigarette tax increase was not assisting smokers to quit or preventing individuals from starting. The intent was to balance the budget on the backs of smokers.
Read the CDC report here.
State Crime Labs wipe out DNA case backlog
Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen via an April 21, 2010, letter informed Governor Doyle and legislative leaders the backlog of DNA cases at the Wisconsin State Crime Laboratories is eliminated.
Attorney General Van Hollen wrote:
"I am pleased to report that there is no longer a backlog of cases awaiting DNA forensic analysis. We have succeeded in eliminating the backlog and are now providing law enforcement and prosecutors the timely analysis needed to help identify offenders and hold them accountable."
At the close of 2006, the State Crime Labs had a backlog of 1,785 DNA cases entitled to forensic analysis. DNA is critical in resolving crimes, obtaining criminal convictions, and freeing the innocent.
A news release and Attorney General Van Hollen's letter can be viewed here.
Legislature approves Wisconsin Crime Alert Network
During August 2008, I proposed that
Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen gave written testimony in support of SB 533 during February 2010. Attorney General Van Hollen writes, in part:
"Here is how it will work. Law enforcement trained by the Department of Justice to use the Wisconsin Crime Alert Network would send out messages to participating businesses and members of the community about criminal activity, criminal trends, or missing persons. By using a drop down menu, those messages can be distributed to specific geographic regions—or even statewide—and specify the type of private entity to receive the message.
Participants and law enforcement would then receive an email or fax with the message. Alerted and armed with information, participants can be on the lookout for unusual behavior or identified suspects. This will help them protect themselves—and help them alert law enforcement.
Sometimes statewide distribution will be appropriate. Take for example an abducted child. An alert containing pictures of the child could be sent throughout the network, and those on the lookout can report sightings to law enforcement.
Senate Bill 533 authorizes the creation of the Wisconsin Crime Alert Network. Creation of the system will not require any general revenue. It authorizes the Department of Justice to charge a nominal fee to those private entities that choose to participate. In
Here is the Attorney General's statement.
SB 533 that I co-sponsored now goes to Governor Doyle for his consideration. In the interest of greater public safety, I urge the governor to sign this critical legislation into law.
Voter fraud legislation isn't dead yet
One of the better moments in the just completed general legislative session was the failure of election overhaul legislation to move forward. Critics of the legislation including myself saw the dramatic changes for what they were: a blatant attempt to pave the way for voter fraud.
The effort to encourage cheating may have died in
John Fund of the Wall Street Journal follows and covers election issues extensively and writes in an opinion piece, "Congress may rush to pass ill-conceived legislation this year that would only sow confusion and increase the potential for chaos on a national level."
Who is leading the charge in the nation's capital? Fund writes, "Wisconsin Sen. Russ Feingold, a Democrat, has introduced federal legislation to mandate same-day registration in every state, claiming the system has worked well in his state."
Has same-day registration worked well here? Fund contends real evidence of voter fraud materialized in
"In 2004, John Kerry won
Much of the problem resulted from
Senator Feingold is not alone. Fund reports, "Sen. Chuck Schumer of
I concur with Fund that elections need to balance ease with integrity. You can read his opinion piece here.
The 2009-10 legislative session review: The budget
The 2009-10 general legislative session began with the legislature addressing its single most important piece of business; the 2009-11 state budget. The result was music to the ears of Democrats and a big disappointment to Republicans.
You may recall that during the 2003 State of the State address, Governor Doyle said, "Going forward, my mind will be open to every solution -- except one. We should not -- we must not -- and I will not -- raise taxes.
Unfortunately, it amounted to empty rhetoric.
A Democrat governor and Democrat-controlled legislature put together the current state budget in secret rather than an open, transparent process. The final results explain the state fiscal mess.
While most
Remember the QEO (Qualified Economic Offer)? Taxpayers demanded and got the QEO during the early-1990's after property taxes kept skyrocketing. The state budget eliminated the QEO. The result? WISTAX reports, "School property tax levies for 2009-10 are up 6.0%."
Spending was increased. Taxes were increased. The tax increases from the 2009 budget adjustment bill plus the tax increases in the 2009-11 state budget total, according to WISTAX, $3.03 billion. Keep in mind this happened during a recession with unemployment skyrocketing to the highest levels since the Great Depression.
Out of all the tax increases in the budget, according to WISTAX, the largest is in individual income taxes totaling $529.8 million. Increasing individual income taxes is foolish policy especially since
A flood of federal stimulus dollars was merely a band-aid barely able to heal a budget process ailing from taxing and spending. The state still finds itself immersed in a structural deficit. The moment Governor Doyle signed the 2009-2011 state budget into law, it created a gigantic hole of $899 million going into 2010-11 and $1.15 billion the year after.
Our current budget deficit figures according to the Legislative Fiscal Bureau: This biennium, the deficit is $10 million. The next biennium, the structural deficit is $2 billion, 329 million.
The next governor and legislature will have to grapple with extremely difficult budget decisions. Taxing and spending our way out of the deficit are not the answers.
About those e-mails...
Last weekend, some constituents received outdated e-mails. Here is an explanation from Legislative Technology Services Bureau:
Between January 11th, 2010 and April 24th, 2010 some of the emails sent by legislative users appeared to have been delivered but were actually stuck on the email server. On Saturday night, April 24th, 2010, when the email service was restarted during routine maintenance, these messages were either delivered or rejected. Some of the messages were rejected for valid reasons; some of them were rejected because of the bug in the email system. Contrary to previous reports on this issue, we haven't been able to confirm that any emails had been delivered more than once.
The cause of the issue was a bug in the Microsoft Exchange email system. After confirming the situation with Microsoft, we applied a Microsoft supplied fix on Tuesday night. We are confident this issue has been resolved but will continue to monitor the situation. According to Microsoft and our research, there is no pattern to describe which emails got stuck and which ones didn't.
The 2009-10 legislative session review: Jobs
Jobs. That is the #1 concern of Wisconsinites today. It should have been the #1 concern of the just-completed general legislative session. Sadly, job creation and improving our dismal business climate was not a high priority. The legislature did little, if anything to strengthen economy.
The Wisconsin Department of Revenue reports the state lost over 163,000 jobs since the beginning of the recession during 2007. The Legislature has done nothing, or too little too late, to spur job growth or jump start our sluggish economy. The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development reports between January 2009 and January 2010,

It cannot be denied that the Sixties are having a moment right now. There seems to have been an upswing in media inspired by or set in the Sixties, from Mad Men gracing television screens to the year's big awards contenders in film, A Serious Man, Nine and An Education. The recently released Youth in Revolt and this Friday's A Single Man continue this trend and show that slick Sixties style is still a winner.
A Single Man based on the book by Christopher Isherwood, comes with flawless sartorial credit, being the directorial debut of the man heralded as the 'saviour of Gucci', Tom Ford. Colin Firth, as the main character George wears costumes designed by Ford throughout, a parade of sharp suits, crisp white shirts and slim ties. George describes his clothing as a kind of 'armour' that he puts on piece by piece, steeling him for battle with the world.
At first glance Youth in Revolt seems a world away from glossy, impeccable period detail of A Single Man. But note: gawky Michael Cera, in order to win over the girl next door, creates a dashing alter ego to give him the confidence to woo her. This alter ego, named Francois Dillenger and based on the French New Wave icon Jean-Paul Belmondo, rocks the causual Sixties look in a shirt by hip label Band of Outsiders.
There really is no better era for dressing to look sharp and well-put together and making you seem confident and a little louche. Granted, a new Tom Ford suit is a bit out of most people's price ranges but you can easily recreate the look shopping on the high street. Try Uniqlo for affordable separates, especially their J+ range, their collaboration with designer Jil Sander.
Above all, never forget the accessories.
Try the ever reliable Top Man for skinny ties, Aspinal of London for pocket squares and Retrospecs for Anglo American glasses. Add a tie clip and a tumbler of scotch and you're ready to go.
Winter is often a season of necessity versus beauty. Unless one has enough in his wallet to buy a piece like this Alexander McQueen (a cool £1,095,) fashionistos are left to settle for cheap and not always stylish alternatives. The gilet (or body-warmer) is a fickle fashion item and this season it has been made-up in enticing chambray by label Wings + Horns.
Gilets often look awful; after all, the Michelin Man-look has never suited anyone. However, when worn over-sized and unzipped with skinny jeans and leather brogues, your padded-tube of fabric becomes the key component of a high-fashion look.
I would say 'Yay' to the idea of a gilet- simply follow Brandish's style advice and you'll be looking awesome anyway!
Giles Deacon for New Look, one of the few designer X high street collaborations for men returns next week with another collection, featuring a selection of shirts, t-shirts, jeans and knits.
We like that the New Look collections are a chance to see Deacon's lighter take on fashion with witty t-shirt prints and bright colours. Hopefully we'll see see pieces which push boundaries a little more in future collections but as always it's baby steps for menswear. Having said that the designer himself wears quite simple and classic clothes, miles away from his last Pac Man womenswear catwalk show. What do you think? Take our poll and let us know!
Alexander McQueen's menswear collections get more and more interesting by the season. This latest show was a clear departure in mood from his last show, 'The Queensberry Rules'.
There was still a menacing undercurrent, with vibes of tortured artist coming through, but the overall atmosphere was that of a more feminine creativity. McQueen's traditional rustic tailoring the look reminded me of some of the Italian workmen that the Sartorialist sometimes snaps.
Onto the gushing, the patchwork shirt and jacket are utterly gorgeous, and regardless of being a woman I want! Similarly the paint effect items moves the digital print trend forwards and the paint-spattered pieces deserve to become a fully-fledged DIY blogger trend.
Best worn: When (pretending) to paint the front room of your Milan apartment.
The second instalment of our summer picks from menswear buyer Lee Douros. There are some beautiful items that will take you stylishly into autumn including a wonderful pair of cornflower blue deck shoes.
Having made their first foray into menswear my-wardrobe have got some exciting brands on board for Autumn, can't wait for their A/W picks!
We're still playing post-Glastonbury catchup with all the menswear shows, but the collections have set the cogs in the cranium a-whirring. First up is YSL's collection, which features the director, Samuel Benchetrit's son lazing around a hotel room Nouvelle Vague style. The clothes themselves seem to be a mix of high-low tailoring and rock chic. Looking forward to seeing this in more detail.
Lee Douros is the menswear buyer for my-wardrobe and at the last press day we had a great chat with him about men's clothing and the online side of things. Lee definitely knows his stuff, so we were thrilled when he agreed to present his top summer picks for us. If you're still stuck for high-summer chic then this is like the holy grail. Stay tuned for pt2!
A retro silhouette dominated the Missoni collection, it was all cuffed trousers and shirts teamed with trenches and faded denims.
Patchwork knits and David Byrne-esque tailoring carried on the throwback theme. Hints of safariwear came through in the muted palette of washed-out neutrals hinted and sherbet accents provided a delicate burst of colour.
Best worn: while being a foreign correspondent in the Sahara.
Clean, clean, clean. The Jil Sander show featured neat boys with bowl cuts in pale summer colours and dark, sharp suits.
Shoulders are wide, fabrics are sheer and there is only the merest hint of print in a few drawn-on pieces. Raf Simons focused on details, but they were never bitty, things like pockets visible through shirts, short shorts and racer back singlets all added definition to this simple collection.
Best worn: on a blustery northern French beach in Spring.
Princes Vintage is a cut above your average eBay store, there's no risk of looking like a mismatched musty throwback with the goods they have on offer. Here is a selection of hot items for summer and trusty wardrobe staples:
Make no mistake, rucksacks are back and this leather one is smart enough for formal occasions. Every man needs a good suit, and if you can find a vintage one that fits well hold onto it for dear life, similarly a quality pair of vintage brogues will last an eternity and they go with a wide variety of looks. Lastly, white trousers are your shortcut to summer smart, but make sure you add an idiosyncratic twist like a neckerchief, retro watch or deck shoes in a sherbet pastel so you don't look too trad.
Mark Ronson was snapped recently out and about in London looking particularly colourful in a bright cobalt jacket.
Good news for fashion fans on a budget, he isn't sporting a designer label; after a chat with the paps Ronson apparently divulged that his jacket was in fact from high street staple Topman! Cobalt blue makes a hot statement and is an easy colour to add to an existing wardrobe. What do you think? Tell us on our Twitter or our Facebook wall!
Edited to add -We spoke to the Topman press office and they told us this: "No it is brand spanking new, not even in store yet he spotted it when he was at our New York press day, it is due in store the first week of June"
We can forgive you if you're not quite in the mood for summer, so we've decided to give you a sneak preview of Cheap Monday's AW09 collection.
There's nothing in the collection that will have you scratching your head, it's a collection of good looking staples with cardigans, colourwash marl tees and shemag-like scarves all getting a look in. Swedish designer Ann-Sofie Back recently announced her appointment as Creative Director for the brand, so we can't wait to see what they've got in store for the future. Jump through to see more of the collection.

Topman is great for its designer collaborations and its 'Priceless' range, designed by celebrated fashion designer and tailor Antony Price, delivers every season. The range has just gone up on Topman.com and with its wonderful waistcoats, brilliant blazers and perfectly pleated pants (in the American sense of the word,) I can't wait to get a piece of the action! The look on the left is almost exactly what I outlined in my 'Will's Summer Wants' piece only last month and the peach colour is perfect for summer.
Other standout pieces include the taffeta suits in purple and green as well as the 'ice grey chintz' suit. Most jackets are around £140 with trousers at £60. Why not enlighten us as to what you plan to invest in by chatting to us on Facebook?
P.S- The 'Swim Skinny' suit is a fash-gasm waiting to happen!

- Health Notes
- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount WhyAngina 2 to 3 grams three times per day [2 stars]In one study, taking arginine improved the ability of angina sufferers to exercise. Detailed studies have proven that arginine works by stimulating blood vessel dilation.Congestive Heart Failure 5.6 to 15 grams per day with a doctor's supervision [2 stars]The body needs arginine to make nitric oxide, which increases blood flow. This process is impaired in people with CHF. It also has been shown to improve kidney function in people with CHF.Erectile Dysfunction 1,670 to 2,800 mg daily [2 stars]Blood vessels need arginine to dilate and form an erection. Supplementing with arginine has been shown to help men with erectile dysfunction in some studies.HIV and AIDS Support and Preservation of Lean Body Mass
(Glutamine, HMB)
1.5 grams of HMB, 7 grams of L-glutamine, and 7 grams of L-arginine twice per day [2 stars]The combination of glutamine, arginine, and HMB may prevent loss of lean body mass in people with AIDS-associated wasting.Male Infertility 4 grams daily [2 stars]The amino acid arginine is needed to produce sperm. Research shows that several months of L-arginine supplementation increases sperm count, quality, and fertility.Pre- and Post-Surgery Health 12.5 to 18.75 grams daily before and after surgery [2 stars]The amino acid arginine has a role in immune function, infection prevention, and tissue repair after injury, including surgery.Sickle Cell Anemia and Pulmonary Hypertension 100 mg per 2.2 lbs (1 kg) of body weight, three times per day as L-Arginine[2 stars]People with pulmonary hypertension (a life-threatening complication of sickle cell anemia) who received L-arginine had significant improvement in one study.Athletic Performance and Body Composition and Strength Refer to label instructions [1 star]At very high intakes, the amino acid arginine has increased growth hormone levels, which stimulate muscle growth. Trials combining weight training with arginine and ornithine showed decreases in body fat and increases in total strength and lean body mass.Female Infertility and In Vitro Fertilization Refer to label instructions [1 star]Supplementing with L-arginine has been shown to improve fertility in women with a history of failed attempts at in vitro fertilization.Gastritis Refer to label instructions [1 star]The amino acid arginine may both protect the stomach and increase its blood flow.Hypertension Refer to label instructions [1 star]The amino acid arginine is needed by the body to make nitric oxide, a substance that allows blood vessels to dilate, thus reducing blood pressure. Arginine given orally and intravenously has been reported to help reduce blood pressure.Wound Healing Refer to label instructions [1 star]Arginine appears to improve wound healing by increasing protein synthesis.
The amino acid arginine has several roles in the body, such as assisting in wound healing, helping remove excess ammonia from the body, stimulating immune function, and promoting secretion of several hormones, including glucagon, insulin, and growth hormone.

Comments about GNC Staminol™:
I took it for a few months, and I gotta be honest -- it didn't really do much for me. However, the thing that really seemed to make these pills work well was when I started taking korean red ginseng and L-arginine. The combination of these with the Staminol really seem to work pretty well for me. Also, I don't think you will experience the effect immediately. I think this stuff takes a few weeks to start to work in your system. Second, you need to take two caps every day, not only when you expect activity. This is what worked for me.
The down side is that its effect doesn't seem to last much more than, say, 3-6 hours after you take the two caps. And, don't expect the "blue pill" type of response, but then again, you aren't paying those absurd prices either, and this is natural.
