A Failed Legislature

The following Wisconsin Public Radio article reports the concerns of the Wisconsin Association of School Nurses about state funding of schools. Yesterday I completed the draft of a flyer my campaign is printing. Both address the same point. I would though only add, “We have a legislature that has been negligent in their duties.”

Commentary by Joe Plouff, Candidate 92nd WI Assembly District.
